摘要
We use class field theory to search for curves with many rational points over the finite fields of cardinality <= 5. By going through abelian covers of each curve of genus s <= 2 over these fields we find a number of new curves. In particular, over F-2 we settle the question of how many points there can be on a curve of genus 17 by. finding one with 18 points. The search is aided by computer; in some cases it is exhaustive for this type of curve of genus up to (C) 2013 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
