7 Hyerellitic curves with moderately large rank over Q(T )
8 Moderate-Rank Family Theorem (HLKM, 2018) Assume the Generalized Nagao Conjecture and trivial Chow trace Jacobian. For any g 1, we can construct infinitely many genus g hyerellitic curves X over Q(T ) such that rank J X (Q(T)) = 4g + 2.
9 Moderate-Rank Family Theorem (HLKM, 2018) Assume the Generalized Nagao Conjecture and trivial Chow trace Jacobian. For any g 1, we can construct infinitely many genus g hyerellitic curves X over Q(T ) such that rank J X (Q(T)) = 4g + 2. Close to current record of 4g + 7.
10 Moderate-Rank Family Theorem (HLKM, 2018) Assume the Generalized Nagao Conjecture and trivial Chow trace Jacobian. For any g 1, we can construct infinitely many genus g hyerellitic curves X over Q(T ) such that rank J X (Q(T)) = 4g + 2. Close to current record of 4g + 7. No height matrix or basis comutation.
11 Moderate-Rank Family Theorem (HLKM, 2018) Assume the Generalized Nagao Conjecture and trivial Chow trace Jacobian. For any g 1, we can construct infinitely many genus g hyerellitic curves X over Q(T ) such that rank J X (Q(T)) = 4g + 2. Close to current record of 4g + 7. No height matrix or basis comutation. This generalizes a construction of Arms, Lozano-Robledo, and Miller in the ellitic surface case.
12 Idea of Construction Define a genus g curve X : y 2 = f (x, T ) = x 2g+1 T 2 + 2g(x)T h(x) g(x) = x 2g+1 + 2g i=0 a i x i h(x) = (A 1)x 2g+1 + 2g i=0 A i x i. The discriminant of the quadratic olynomial is D T (x) := g(x) 2 + x 2g+1 h(x).
13 Idea of Construction A 1,X () = ( ) f (x, t) t() x()
14 Idea of Construction A 1,X () = ( ) f (x, t) t() x() = ( ) x 2g+1 ( 1) x() D t (x) 0 + x() D t (x) 0 ( ) x 2g+1 ( 1)
15 Idea of Construction A 1,X () = ( ) f (x, t) t() x() = ( ) x 2g+1 ( 1) + x() x() D t (x) 0 = x() D t (x) 0 ( ) x x() ( x ) D t (x) 0 ( ) x 2g+1 ( 1)
16 Idea of Construction A 1,X () = ( ) f (x, t) t() x() = ( ) x 2g+1 ( 1) x() D t (x) 0 = x() D t (x) 0 ( ) x + x() D t (x) 0 ( ) x 2g+1 ( 1)
17 Idea of Construction A 1,X () = ( ) f (x, t) t() x() = ( ) x 2g+1 ( 1) x() D t (x) 0 = x() D t (x) 0 ( ) x ( Therefore, A 1,X () is D t (x). x + x() D t (x) 0 ( ) x 2g+1 ( 1) ) summed over the roots of
18 Idea of Construction A 1,X () = ( ) f (x, t) t() x() = ( ) x 2g+1 ( 1) x() D t (x) 0 = x() D t (x) 0 ( ) x ( Therefore, A 1,X () is x + x() D t (x) 0 ( ) x 2g+1 ( 1) ) summed over the roots of D t (x). To maximize the sum, we make each x a erfect square.
19 Idea of Construction Key Idea Make the roots of D t (x) distinct nonzero erfect squares. Choose roots ρ 2 i of D t (x) so that D t (x) = A 4g+2 i=1 ( x ρ 2 i ).
20 Idea of Construction Key Idea Make the roots of D t (x) distinct nonzero erfect squares. Choose roots ρ 2 i of D t (x) so that D t (x) = A Equate coefficients in D t (x) = A 4g+2 i=1 4g+2 i=1 ( x ρ 2 i ). ( x ρ 2 i ) = g(x) 2 + x 2g+1 h(x).
21 Idea of Construction Key Idea Make the roots of D t (x) distinct nonzero erfect squares. Choose roots ρ 2 i of D t (x) so that D t (x) = A Equate coefficients in D t (x) = A 4g+2 i=1 4g+2 i=1 ( x ρ 2 i ). ( x ρ 2 i ) = g(x) 2 + x 2g+1 h(x). Solve the nonlinear system for the coefficients of g, h.
22 Idea of the Construction A 1,χ ()
23 Idea of the Construction A 1,χ () = x mod D t (x) 0 ( ) x 2g+1
24 Idea of the Construction A 1,χ () = x mod D t (x) 0 ( ) x 2g+1 = (# of erfect-square roots of D t (x)) = (4g + 2).
25 Idea of the Construction A 1,χ () = x mod D t (x) 0 ( ) x 2g+1 = (# of erfect-square roots of D t (x)) = (4g + 2). Then by the Generalized Nagao Conjecture lim X 1 X X 1 (4g + 2) log = 4g + 2 = rank J X (Q(T )).

27 Bias Conjecture
28 Bias Conjecture Michel s Theorem For one-arameter families of ellitic curves E, the second moment A 2,E () is A 2,E () = 2 + O ( 3/2).
29 Bias Conjecture Michel s Theorem For one-arameter families of ellitic curves E, the second moment A 2,E () is A 2,E () = 2 + O ( 3/2). Bias Conjecture (Miller) The largest lower order term in the second moment exansion that does not average to 0 is on average negative.
30 Bias Conjecture Michel s Theorem For one-arameter families of ellitic curves E, the second moment A 2,E () is A 2,E () = 2 + O ( 3/2). Bias Conjecture (Miller) The largest lower order term in the second moment exansion that does not average to 0 is on average negative. Goal: Find as many hyerellitic families with as much bias as ossible.
31 The Bias Family Theorem (HLKM 2018) Consider X : y 2 = x n + x h T k. If gcd(k, n h, 1) = 1, then (gcd(n h, 1) 1)( 2 ) h even A 2,X () = gcd(n h, 1)( 2 ) h odd ( ) 0 otherwise
32 Calculations Part 1: k-periodicity A 2,X () = t,x,y() x n + x h t k y n + y h t k
33 Calculations Part 1: k-periodicity A 2,X () = t,x,y() = t,x,y() x n + x h t k y n + y h t k (t n x n ) + (t h x h )t k (t n y n ) + (t h y h )t k
34 Calculations Part 1: k-periodicity A 2,X () = t,x,y() = t,x,y() = t,x,y() x n + x h t k y n + y h t k (t n x n ) + (t h x h )t k (t n y n ) + (t h y h )t k x n + x h t (k+(n h)) y n + y h t (k+(n h))
35 Calculations Part 1: k-periodicity A 2,X () = t,x,y() = t,x,y() = t,x,y() x n + x h t k y n + y h t k (t n x n ) + (t h x h )t k (t n y n ) + (t h y h )t k x n + x h t (k+(n h)) y n + y h t (k+(n h)) The second moment is eriodic in k with eriod (n h).
36 Calculations Part 2 A 2,X () = t,x,y() x n + x h t k y n + y h t k
37 Calculations Part 2 A 2,X () = t,x,y() = t,x,y() x n + x h t k y n + y h t k x n + x h t m y n + y h t m (m n h k)
38 Calculations Part 2 A 2,X () = t,x,y() = t,x,y() = t,x,y() x n + x h t k y n + y h t k x n + x h t m y n + y h t m x n + x h t y n + y h t (m n h k) (Frobenius)
39 Calculations Part 2 A 2,X () = t,x,y() = t,x,y() = t,x,y() x n + x h t k y n + y h t k x n + x h t m y n + y h t m x n + x h t y n + y h t gcd(n h, k, 1) = 1 (m n h k) (Frobenius)
40 Calculations Part 2 A 2,X () = t,x,y() = t,x,y() = t,x,y() x n + x h t k y n + y h t k x n + x h t m y n + y h t m x n + x h t y n + y h t gcd(n h, k, 1) = 1 (m n h k) (Frobenius) Thus, this reduces to calculating the second moment of y 2 = x n + x h T, which is straightforward.
