Weierstrass points in Artin-Schreier extensions of the rational function field in characteristic $p$
I encountered a problem when proving a result regarding the orders at non-Weierstrass points ($n$ is an order of the point $P$ if there is some holomorphic differential $\omega$ with order $n$ at $P$) ...

An automorphism of a function field
I am looking for an explicit example of a function field other than rational with an automorphism which fixes places of different degrees. Also, is there a counterexample, namely a function field with ...

Under what conditions is the compositum of two rational cubic Kummer extensions a rational function field?
Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p > 3$ and $F = k(x)$ be the rational function field in the variable $x$. Consider two Kummer extensions $F_1 = F(\sqrt[3]{g_1})$, $F_2 = ...

Function field Towers of larger depth of recursion
A function field tower is a sequence of function fields
$$\mathcal{F}_0 \subset \mathcal{F}_1 \subset \mathcal{F}_2 \dots \subset \mathcal{F}_{n} \subset \mathcal{F}_{n+1} \subset \dots $$
over a base ...

Automorphisms of function fields under constant reduction
Let $K=\mathbb{Q}(x,y)$ be a function field of genus at least 2, with defining equation $f(x,y)=0$ (say, absolutely irreducible and with coefficients not divisible by $p$), and let $k$ be the mod-$p$ ...

What is the advantage of the approach of valuations to the Riemann-Roch Theorem for curves (a la Chevalley)? AKA theory of algebraic functions in one variable
Hello,
Some books and courses take the approach to Riemann-Roch for curves considering only the algebraic viewpoint of algebraic extensions of a field k(t) without going into any algebraic geometry (...

behavior of places of a function field under automorphism
if $P_{1}$ and $P_{2}$ are distinct places of equal degree of the function field F/K, and $\sigma$ is a K-field automorphism, such that $\sigma(P_{1})=P_{2}$. then, does $\deg (P_{1}\cap K(x))=\deg (...
