On Weierstrass Semigroups and Fiber Product of Kummer Covers
摘要
In this article, we explore the properties of Weierstrass semigroups and pure gaps in the context of fiber products of Kummer extensions, with applications to algebraic geometry codes (AG codes). We establish an arithmetic criterion to determine gaps and pure gaps at totally ramified places in fiber products of Kummer extensions, and determine a system of generators for the Weierstrass semigroup at any totally ramified place, generalizing previous results for single Kummer extensions. Finally, we apply our results to specific maximal curves to construct AG codes with good relative parameters compared to existing codes derived from the GK curve.
