On generalizations of Fermat curves over finite fields and their automorphisms

Publication date 24 November 2017

Abstract: Let

m a t h c a l X

be an irreducible algebraic curve defined over a finite field

m a t h b b F_{q}

of characteristic

p > 2

. Assume that the

m a t h b b F_{q}

-automorphism group of

m a t h c a l X

admits as an automorphism group the direct product of two cyclic groups

C_{m}

and

C_{n}

of orders

m

and

n

prime to

p

such that both quotient curves

m a t h c a l X / C_{n}

and

m a t h c a l X / C_{m}

are rational. In this paper, we provide a complete classification of such curves, as well as a characterization of their full automorphism groups.
