Abstract: For non-negative integers l1,l2,ldots,ln, we define character sums varphi(l1,l2,ldots,ln) and psi(l1,l2,ldots,ln) over a finite field which are generalizations of Jacobsthal and modified Jacobsthal sums, respectively. We express these character sums in terms of Greene's finite field hypergeometric series. We then express the number of points on the hyperelliptic curves y2=(xm+a)(xm+b)(xm+c) and y2=x(xm+a)(xm+b)(xm+c) over a finite field in terms of the character sums varphi(l1,l2,l3) and psi(l1,l2,l3), and finally obtain expressions in terms of the finite field hypergeometric series.
