Let q be an odd prime power, and denote the set of square-free monic polynomials D ( x )∈ F q [ x ] of degree d . Katz and Sarnak showed that the moments, over , of the zeta functions associated to the curves y 2 = D ( x ), evaluated at the central point, tend, as , to the moments of characteristic polynomials, evaluated at the central point, of matrices in USp (2⌊( d −1)/2⌋). Using techniques that were originally developed for studying moments of L -functions over number fields, Andrade and Keating conjectured an asymptotic formula for the moments for q fixed and . We provide theoretical and numerical evidence in favour of their conjecture. In some cases, we are able to work out exact formulae for the moments and use these to precisely determine the size of the remainder term in the predicted moments.

AbstractWe show that, for most of the elliptic curves E over a prime finite field p of p elements, the discriminant D(E) of the quadratic number field containing the endomorphism ring of E over p is sufficiently large. We also obtain an asymptotic formula for the number of distinct quadratic number fields generated by the endomorphism rings of all elliptic curves over p.

AbstractLet C be a complete irreducible nonsingular algebraic curve defined over a finite field k. Let G be a finite subgroup of the group of automorphisms Aut(C) of C. We prove that certain idempotent relations in the rational group ring Q[G] imply other relations between the zeta-functions of the quotient curves C/H, where H is a subgroup of G. In particular we generalize some results of Kani in the special case of curves over finite fields.

Hyperelliptic curves have been widely studied for cryptographic applications, and some special hyperelliptic curves are often considered to be used in practical cryptosystems. Computing Jacobian group orders is an important operation in constructing hyperelliptic curve cryptosystems, and the most common method used for the computation of Jacobian group orders is by computing the zeta functions or the characteristic polynomials of the related hyperelliptic curves. For the hyperelliptic curveCq:v2=up+au+bover the fieldFqwithqbeing a power of an odd primep, Duursma and Sakurai obtained its characteristic polynomial forq=p,a=−1,andb∈Fp. In this paper, we determine the characteristic polynomials ofCqover the finite fieldFpnforn=1, 2 anda,b∈Fpn. We also give some computational data which show that many of those curves have large prime factors in their Jacobian group orders, which are both practical and vital for the constructions of efficient and secure hyperelliptic curve cryptosystems.
