Review text

The authors consider a family of quotients of Fermat curves, and show that some members in the family have simple Jacobians with complex multiplication (CM) by a non-cyclotomic field. In an earlier paper [Math. Comput. 74, 499--518 (2005; Zbl 1049.14014)], the second and third authors gave an algorithm for constructing CM Picard curves starting from a given CM field, but they were unable to give a rigorous proof that the curves obtained via this algorithm have complex multiplication by the given CM field. The family considered here contains some of the examples from this previous paper, and thus provides such a rigorous proof in some cases. The majority of this article concentrates on one such example, the curve \(y^3=x(x^7+1)\). The authors compute the local zeta functions of this curve using two different methods - Jacobi sums and the general theory of complex multiplication -- by using facts about the CM field \({\mathbb Q}(\zeta_3,\zeta_7 + \zeta_7^{-1})\).
