Abstract: Suppose X is a hyperelliptic curve of genus g defined over an algebraically closed field k of characteristic p=2. We prove that the de Rham cohomology of X decomposes into pieces indexed by the branch points of the hyperelliptic cover. This allows us to compute the isomorphism class of the 2-torsion group scheme JX[2] of the Jacobian of X in terms of the Ekedahl-Oort type. The interesting feature is that JX[2] depends only on some discrete invariants of X, namely, on the ramification invariants associated with the branch points. We give a complete classification of the group schemes which occur as the 2-torsion group schemes of Jacobians of hyperelliptic k-curves of arbitrary genus.
