The twisting representation of the \(L\)-function of a curve (Q373494)

Summary: Let \(C\) be a smooth projective curve defined over a number field and let \(C^\prime\) be a twist of \(C\). In this article we relate the \(\ell\)-adic representations attached to the \(\ell\)-adic Tate modules of the Jacobians of \(C\) and \(C^\prime\) through an Artin representation. This representation induces global relations between the local factors of the respective Hasse-Weil \(L\)-functions. We make these relations explicit in a particularly illustrative situation. For all but a finite number of \(\overline{\mathbb{Q}}\)-isomorphism classes of genus 2 curves defined over \(\mathbb{Q}\) with \(\text{Aut}(C)\simeq D_8\) or \(D_{12}\), we find a representative curve \(C/\mathbb{Q}\) such that, for every isomorphism \(\phi:C^\prime\rightarrow C\) satisfying some mild condition, we are able to determine either the local factor \(L_{ p}(C^\prime/\mathbb{Q},T)\) or the product \(L_{p}(C^\prime/\mathbb{Q},T)\cdot L_{p}(C^\prime/\mathbb{Q},-T)\) from the local factor \(L_{p}(C/\mathbb{Q},T)\).
