How can I calculate the numerator of congruent zeta function of given hyperelliptic curve ?
For example, let $C:y^2=(x^2+1)(x^4-8x^3+2x^2+8x+1)$. numerator of congruent zeta function mod$23$ of this is known to be $1+46X^2+529X^4$.
My text reads ''Counting up rations points of the reduction of $C$ at $23$, we obtain the coefficients of numerator of congruent zeta function'', but I don't come up with good idea to calculate it by hand.
If I could specify Frobenius of $J(C)$, we obtain its character polynomial, and numerator of congruent zeta, but this takes much efforts.
