Abstract: In this article we extend work of Shanks and Washington on cyclic extensions, and elliptic curves associated to the simplest cubic fields. In particular, we give families of examples of hyperelliptic curves C:y2=f(x) defined over mathbbQ, with f(x) of degree p, where p is a Sophie Germain prime, such that the rank of the Mordell--Weil group of the jacobian J/mathbbQ of C is bounded by the genus of C and the 2-rank of the class group of the (cyclic) field defined by f(x), and exhibit examples where this bound is sharp.
