Abstract: We study hyperbolic curves and their Jacobians over finite fields in the context of anabelian geometry.


The authors study hyperbolic curves and their jacobians over finite fields in the context of anabelian geometry. A fundamental result of \textit{J. Tate} [Invent. Math. 2, 134--144 (1966; Zbl 0147.20303)] shows that an abelian variety over a finite field \(k_0\) is determined up to isogney by the charcateristic polynomial of the action of the \(k_0\)-frobenius automorphism on its Tate module. In the first part of the paper this result is applied to anabelian geometry of curves over finite fields. The main result is a Torelli theorem in this setting. Let \(k\) be an algebraic closure of \(k_0\). In the second part of the paper the main theorem is applied to show that, for a curve \(C\) over \(k\) of genus \(g>3\), the pair consisting of (1) the abelianization of the absolute Galois group of \(k(C)\) and (2) the set of inertia subgroups corresponding to non-trivial valuations of \(k(C)\), determines the isogeny class of the jacobian of \(C\).
