Abstract: We survey results and open questions about the $p$-ranks and Newton polygons of Jacobians of curves in positive characteristic $p$. We prove some geometric results about the $p$-rank stratification of the moduli space of (hyperelliptic) curves. For example, if $0leqfleqg-1$, we prove that every component of the $p$-rank $f+1$ stratum of ${mathcalM}_g$ contains a component of the $p$-rank $f$ stratum in its closure. We prove that the $p$-rank $f$ stratum of $overline{mathcalM}_g$ is connected. For all primes $p$ and all $ggeq4$, we demonstrate the existence of a Jacobian of a smooth curve, defined over $overline{mathbbF}_p$, whose Newton polygon has slopes $0,frac14,frac34,1$. We include partial results about the generic Newton polygons of curves of given genus $g$ and $p$-rank $f$.
