Abstract: We describe an algorithm to compute the zeta function of any non-hyperelliptic genus 3 plane curve C over a finite field with automorphism group G=mathbbZ/2mathbbZ. This algorithm computes in the Monsky-Washnitzer cohomology of~the curve. Using the relation between the Monsky-Washnitzer cohomology of C and its quotient E:=C/G, the computation splits into 2 parts: one in a subspace of the Monsky-Washnitzer cohomology and a second which reduces to the point counting on an elliptic curve E. The former corresponds to the dimension 2 abelian surface mathrmker(mathrmJac(C)ightarrowE), on which we can compute with lower precision and with matrices of smaller dimension. Hence we obtain a faster algorithm than working directly on the curve C.
