On subfields of the second generalization of the GK maximal function field

From MaRDI portal
Publication:1987112



Abstract: The second generalized GK function fields Kn are a recently found family of maximal function fields over the finite field with q2n elements, where q is a prime power and nge1 an odd integer. In this paper we construct many new maximal function fields by determining various Galois subfields of Kn. In case gcd(q+1,n)=1 and either q is even or qequiv1pmod4, we find a complete list of Galois subfields of Kn. Our construction adds several previously unknown genera to the genus spectrum of maximal curves.
