Let $y^2 = f(x,T)$ be a hyperelliptic curve of genus $g\geq 1$, defined over $\mathbb{Q}(T)$. We prove the existence of infinitely many imaginary hyperelliptic curves with a fixed genus $g$ having a certain rank for $5\leq r\leq 4g+2$, and a similar result for real hyperelliptic curves with a fixed genus $g$ having a certain rank for $6\leq r\leq 4g+4$. We begin by constructing such curves and prove the rank using two methods. First, we apply the generalized Nagao's conjecture, which relates the first moment and the rank of the Jacobian variety $J_\mathcal{X}(\mathbb{Q}(T))$, and that the conjecture holds for our curves, making the result unconditional. Furthermore, we explicitly construct rational points in the Mordell-Weil group and use Shioda-Tate to prove that the rank is equal to $r$.
Let $E/\mathbb Q$ be an elliptic curve and for each prime $p$, let $N_p$ denote the number of points of $E$ modulo $p$. The original version of the conjecture of Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer asserts that $\prod \limits _{p \leq x} \frac{N_p}{p} \sim C (\log x) ^{\text{rank}(E(\mathbb Q))}$ as $x \to \infty$.

In 1987, Elkies proved the striking result that every elliptic curve over $\mathbb{Q}$ has infinitely many supersingular primes. Motivated by this theorem and its connection with the Lang-Trotter conjecture, we study the analogous problem for Frobenius fields of elliptic curves. For certain families of non-CM elliptic...
For each $r\in\{4,6\}$, we construct an explicit one-parameter family of elliptic curves over $\mathbb{Q}(i)$ containing infinitely many pairwise nonisomorphic curves genuinely defined over $\mathbb{Q}(i)$ with $j$-invariant $1728$ and rank exactly $r$. We construct explicit $\mathbb{Q}(i)$-rational points to bound the...
Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic $2$ and let $q=2^h$, $h\ge3$. We construct ordinary bielliptic curves $X$ of genus $q+1$ for which \[ \Aut(X)\cong \Dih(C_q)\times C_2, \qquad |\Aut(X)|=4q=4(g(X)-1). \] These curves realize case \textup{(ib)} in the classification of Giulietti--Korchm\'aros an...
For $r>2$, we study the moduli space parameterising fixed degree morphisms $\mathbb P^r\to X$ where $X$ is a smooth hypersurface of low degree. More precisely, we prove the following result: let $n\geq 2, e\geq 1$ and $X\subset \mathbb P^{n-1}$ a smooth degree $d\geq 2$ hypersurface over an algebraically closed field o...
For $n\geq 4$, let $T_n$ be the rank-3 matroid on $\mathbb{Z}/n\mathbb{Z}$ whose bases are the three-element non-zero-sum subsets. Let $X_1(n)^\circ$ denote the open subscheme of the modular curve $X_1(n)$ obtained by removing the cusps corresponding to reducible N\'eron polygons. For $n \geq 10$, we give a purely alge...
