Families of supersingular curves in characteristic 2
Abstract
This paper determines the normal forms of hyperelliptic supersingular curves of genus g over an algebraically closed field F of characteristic 2 for 0 < g< 9. We also show that every hyperelliptic supersingular curve of genus 9 over F has an equation y2-y=x19+c8x9+c3x for some c in F2bar. The paper determines the dimensions of the open locus of hyperelliptic supersingular curves of genus g < 10 over F2bar.
