Superspecial trigonal curves of genus $5$

Abstract

This paper provides an algorithm enumerating superspecial trigonal curves of genus $5$ over finite fields. Executing the algorithm over a computer algebra system Magma, we enumerate them over finite fields $\mathbb{F}_{p^a}$ for any natural number $a$ if $p \leq 7$ and for odd $a$ if $p \leq 13$.
