The aim of this paper is to present a very explicit construction of one parameter families of hyperelliptic curves C of genus (p−1 )/ 2, for any odd prime number p, with the property that the endomorphism algebra of the jacobian of C contains the real subfield Q(2 cos(2π/p)) of the cyclotomic field Q(e2π i/p).Two proofs of the fact that the constructed curves have this property will be given. One is by providing a double cover with the pth roots of unity in its automorphism group. The other is by explicitly writing down equations of a correspondence in C x C which defines multiplication by 2cos(2π/ p) on the jacobian of C. As a byproduct we obtain polynomials which define bijective maps Fℓ → Fℓ for all prime numbers in certain congruence classes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
