Hyperelliptic curves with reduced automorphism group A₅

Abstract: We study genus g hyperelliptic curves with reduced automorphism group A5 and give equations y2=f(x) for such curves in both cases where f(x) is a decomposable polynomial in x2 or x5. For any fixed genus the locus of such curves is a rational variety. We show that for every point in this locus the field of moduli is a field of definition. Moreover, there exists a rational model y2=F(x) or y2=xF(x) of the curve over its field of moduli where F(x) can be chosen to be decomposable in x2 or x5. While similar equations have been given in Bujalance, Cirre, Gamboa and Gromadzki (2001) over mathbbR, this is the first time that these equations are given over the field of moduli of the curve.
