General setting Non-hyperelliptic genus 3 curves = smooth plane quartics. Choice of a good divisor at innity condition ( ) : There is a rational line l which crosses the quartic C in four k-points P 1, P 2, P 3, P 4. Let D = P 1 + P 2 + P 3. Because Sym 3 C Jac(C), D + D + D is surjective, a element D Jac(C) is a sum of three points called D +. Question : how do we compute (eciently) D 1 + D 2 in terms of D + 1, D+ 2?

A geometric addition algorithm Let D 1, D 2 Jac(C)(k). Then D 1 + D 2 is equivalent to a divisor D = D + D, where the points in the support of D + are given by the following algorithm : 1 Take a cubic E which goes (with multiplicity) through the support of D +, 1 D+ 2 and P 1, P 2, P 4. This cubic also crosses C in the residual eective divisor D 3. 2 Take a conic Q which goes through the support of D 3 and P 1, P 2. This conic also crosses C in the residual eective divisor D +. Why? Because (l C) κ, (Q C) 2κ and (E C) 3κ. Stéphane Flon, Roger Oyono, ChristopheAddition Ritzenthaler in the () Jacobian of non-hyperelliptic genus 3 curves and rationality 3 / of11the

Some complexities In the case char(k) > 5 and C has a model y 3 + h 2 (x)y = f 4 (x) with deg(h 2 ) 3. Remarks : Salem and Makdisi work with a good choice of Riemann-Roch spaces. Basiri, Enge, Faugère and Gürel work with ideals in function elds. Others (Blache, Cherdieu, Sarlabous,... ) work on the more general problem of reduction and give only asymptotics.

When char(k) > 3, smooth plane quartics have 24 exes counted with multiplicities. Heuristics and computations seem to show that the probability that C has at least one rational ex is asymptotically (q ) about 0.63 (probability that a degree 24 polynomial has at least one root).

The tangent case (continued) Lemma Let φ : X Y be a separable morphism of degree 2 between two projective curves over k such that Y is smooth and abs. irreducible ; There exists a point P 0 Y such that φ is ramied at P 0 and φ 1 (P 0 ) is not singular.

Then X is abs. irreducible. Proposition we have the following properties : 1 the ramication points of φ are the bitangence points. 2 If char(k) 2, the only possible singular points of X are the points (P, P) where P is a hyperex of C.
