Root number of the Jacobian of y^2=x^p+a

Publication date 10 February 2021

Abstract: Let

C / m a t h b b Q

be a hyperelliptic curve with an affine model of the form

y^{2} = x^{p} + a

. We explicitly determine the root number of the Jacobian of

C

, with particular focus on the local root number at

p

where

C

has wild ramification.
