On Kummer extensions with one place at infinity

Abstract: Let

K

be the algebraic closure of

m a t h b b F_{q}

. We provide an explicit description of the Weierstrass semigroup

H (Q_{i} n f t y)

at the only place at infinity

Q_{i n f t y}

of the curve

m a t h c a l X

defined by the Kummer extension with equation

y^{m} = f (x)

, where

f (x) i n K [x]

is a polynomial satisfying

g c d (m, e x t d e g f) = 1

. As a consequence, we determine the Frobenius number and the multiplicity of

H (Q_{i n f t y})

in some cases, and we discuss sufficient conditions for the Weierstrass semigroup

H (Q_{i n f t y})

to be symmetric. Finally, we characterize certain maximal Castle curves of type

(m a t h c a l X, Q_{i n f t y})

.
