An infinite family of curves of genus 2 over the field of rational numbers whose Jacobian varieties contain rational points of order 28 (Q1709857)

In this paper, an infinite family of nonisomorphic genus 2 curves over the rational field whose Jacobian Variety contains a rational point of order 28 is found. This result is proved in Theorem 1, which in turn is obtained as a consequence of Theorem 2, in which the existence of a genus 2 curve over \(\mathbb{Q}(t)\) whose Jacobian contains a torsion point of order 28 is proved. One of the main tools in the proofs is the study of fundamental units in hyperelliptic fields, and a key ingredient is Proposition 1, where a sufficient condition for the existence of a fundamental \(S\)-unit of degree \(28\) in a given hyperelliptic field \(L\) is given.
