On the singularity of the Demjanenko matrix of quotients of Fermat curves

Abstract: Given a prime

e l l g e q 3

and a positive integer

k l e e l l - 2

, one can define a matrix

D_{k, e l l}

, the so-called Demjanenko matrix, whose rank is equal to the dimension of the Hodge group of the Jacobian

m a t h r m J a c ({m a t h c a l C}_{k, e l l})

of a certain quotient of the Fermat curve of exponent

e l l

. For a fixed

e l l

, the existence of

k

for which

D_{k, e l l}

is singular (equivalently, for which the rank of the Hodge group of

m a t h r m J a c ({m a t h c a l C}_{k, e l l})

is not maximal) has been extensively studied in the literature. We provide an asymptotic formula for the number of such

k

when

e l l

tends to infinity.
