The group generated by the Weierstrass points of some plane quartics.
Thursday 5th April, 3-4pm
Eastern Avenue Tutorial Room 404
The group generated by the Weierstrass points of a smooth curve in
its Jacobian is an interesting intrinsic invariant of the curve.
We compute this group for some families of plane quartics.
As an application, we get some information on the rank and on the
torsion part of this group for a generic quartic having a fixed number
of hyperflexes.
