Bounds for the number of points on projective hyperelliptic curves over finite fields

Let $C$ be projective hyperelliptic curve over finite field $K$. What are bounds for the number of points $\#C(K)$? The Hasse-Weil bound requires smooth curves, and hyperelliptic curves are not smooth …

Elementary constraints for the solutions of $z^{n-2}y(y+z)=x^n$?

Related to FLT and this question. For natural $n > 4 $ define the curve $C_n : z^{n-2}y(y+z)=x^n$. $C_n$ has the trivial points with $x=0$ for all $n$. The answer in the linked question shows there …

Rational perfect power values of $y(y+1)$

This is hard, so I am looking for partial results and how hard it is. Let $n>4$. Is it true that the hyperelliptic curve $x^n=y(y+1)$ doesn't have rational point with $x \ne 0$? If necessarily assum …

Hyperelliptic curves imply FLT-like results

Probably this is known, but doesn't show in searches. If a certain hyperelliptic curve has only trivial rational points, FLT-like curve also has only trivial rationals points for fixed $n$. Working …

No rational points on $x^n+a=y^2$ for all $n>4$"?

Is there rational (or better integer) $a$ such that for all $n>4$,$x^n+a=y^2$ has no rational points?
