Abstract: We show that there exists a plane curve of degree q3+1 with two inner Galois points whose smooth model is the Hermitian curve of degree q+1, where q is a power of the characteristic p>0. Similar results hold for the Suzuki and Ree curves respectively.


Let \(\mathcal{C} \subset \mathbb{P}^{2}\) be an irreducible plane curve over an algebraically closed field \(k\) of characteristic \(p\geqslant 0\), and let \[ \pi_{P}:\mathcal{C}\dashrightarrow \mathbb{P}^{1} \] be the projection from \(P\in\mathbb{P}^{2}\). A point \(P\in\mathbb{P}^{2}\) (resp. a nonsingular point \(P\) of \(\mathcal{C}\)) is called a Galois point (resp. an inner Galois point) for \(\mathcal{C}\) if the function field extension \(k(\mathcal{C})/\pi_{P}^{\ast}(\mathbb{P}^{1})\) induced by \(\pi_{P}\) is Galois; see [\textit{K. Miura} and \textit{H. Yoshihara}, J. Algebra 226, No. 1, 283--294 (2000; Zbl 0983.11067)] and [\textit{H. Yoshihara}, J. Algebra 239, No. 1, 340--355 (2001; Zbl 1064.14023)]. Finding examples of plane curves with two inner Galois points is an interesting and remarkable problem in the theory of Galois points, since not many such examples are known. In this work, using Theorem 1 in [\textit{S. Fukasawa}, J. Algebra 511, 95--101 (2018; Zbl 1400.14084)], it is shown that the Hermitian, Suzuki, and Ree curves provide, for suitable choices of birational embeddings in \(\mathbb{P}^{2}\), examples of plane curves with exactly two inner Galois points.
