Let \(q=p^f\), where \(p\) is a prime number and \(f\) a positive integer. We denote by \(X\) the Fermat curve \[ x^{q+1}+ y^{q+1}+ z^{q+1}=0 \] in the projective plane over \(k=\mathbb{F}_{q^2}\). The Jacobian \(J_X\) of \(X\) is isogenous over \(k\) to \(E^g\), where \(g=q(q-1)/2\) and \(E\) is any elliptic curve over \(k\) in the isogenous class such that the \(q^2\)-power endomorphism is multiplication by \(-q\). Let \(G\) be the finite special unitary group in three variables. In this paper the author analyses the structure of the Shafarevich-Tate group for the constant abelian variety \(J_X\) over the function field \(k(X)\) and the action of the group \(G\times G\) upon it. Furthermore, a similar problem is studied for the Shafarevich-Tate group of \(E\) over \(k(X)\), where only the group \(G\) acts.
