Abstract
In this work, we investigate generalized Weierstrass semigroups in arbitrary Kummer extensions of the rational function field . We analyze their structure and properties, with a particular emphasis on their maximal elements. Explicit descriptions of the sets of absolute and relative maximal elements within these semigroups are provided. Additionally, we apply our results to function fields of the maximal curves and , which cannot be covered by the Hermitian curve, and the Beelen-Montanucci curve. Our results generalize and unify several earlier contributions in the theory of Weierstrass semigroups, providing new perspectives on the relationship between these semigroups and function fields.
期刊介绍:
Finite Fields and Their Applications is a peer-reviewed technical journal publishing papers in finite field theory as well as in applications of finite fields. As a result of applications in a wide variety of areas, finite fields are increasingly important in several areas of mathematics, including linear and abstract algebra, number theory and algebraic geometry, as well as in computer science, statistics, information theory, and engineering.
For cohesion, and because so many applications rely on various theoretical properties of finite fields, it is essential that there be a core of high-quality papers on theoretical aspects. In addition, since much of the vitality of the area comes from computational problems, the journal publishes papers on computational aspects of finite fields as well as on algorithms and complexity of finite field-related methods.
The journal also publishes papers in various applications including, but not limited to, algebraic coding theory, cryptology, combinatorial design theory, pseudorandom number generation, and linear recurring sequences. There are other areas of application to be included, but the important point is that finite fields play a nontrivial role in the theory, application, or algorithm.
