Bring's curve $\sum_{i=1}^5 x_i^k = 0$ for $k = 1,2,3$ and an analogue $\sum_{i=1}^6 y_i^k =...

The equations $\sum_{i=1}^6 y_i^k = 0$ for $k=1,2,4,7$ do not cut out a curve because the $k=1,2,4$ equations imply the one for $k=7$. (The 7th power sum is a polynomial in the power sums of degree 1 …

A generalization of polynomial algebra on a Riemann surface

Counterexample to the first question ("is $A$ an algebra of functions?"): Let $M$ be a vertical strip such as {$x + iy : 0 < x < 1$}, and define $f_1,f_2$ as the restriction to $M$ of the entire func …

Examples of hyperelliptic curves with hyperelliptic quotients that have more automorphisms

Sure: let $Y$ be your favorite hyperelliptic curve $u^2=f(t)$ with many automorphisms, and let $X$ be the curve $u^2=f(t(s))$ for some "random" rational function $f$ of degree at least $2$. For examp …

Is there anything special about the Riemann surface $y^2 = x(x^{10}+11x^5-1)$?

Yes, this Riemann surface, call it $C: y^2 = x^{11}-11x^6-x$, is quite special: not only does it have the maximal number of automorphisms for a hyperelliptic surface of genus $5$, but it is a modular …

Bounding the modular discriminant of an elliptic curve in the j-invariant

The new $\| \Delta \|$, defined as $\mathop{\rm Im}(\tau)^6$ times the absolute value of the usual modular form $\Delta$, is invariant under the full modular group $\Gamma = {\rm PSL}_2({\bf Z})$ acti …
