    An exhaustive computer search for finding new curves with many points among fibre products of two Kummer covers over F5 and F7
    (Tubitak Scientific & Technological Research Council Turkey, 2013) Ozbudak, Ferruh; Temur, Burcu Gulmez; Yayla, Oguz
    In this paper we make an exhaustive computer search for finding new curves with many points among fibre products of 2 Kummer covers of the projective line over F-5 and F-7. At the end of the search, we have 12 records and 6 new entries for the current Table of Curves with Many Points. In particular, we observe that the fibre product y(1)(3)= 5(x + 2)(x + 5)/x, y(2)(3)= 3x(2()x + 5)/x + 3 over F-7 has genus 7 with 36 rational points. As this coincides with the Ihara bound, we conclude that the maximum number N-7(7) of F-7-rational points among all curves of genus 7 is 36. Our exhaustive search has been possible because of the methods given in the recent work by Ozbudak and Temur (2012) for determining the number of rational points of such curves.

    The Number of Irreducible Polynomials Over Finite Fields With Vanishing Trace and Reciprocal Trace
    (Springer, 2022) Cakiroglu, Yagmur; Yayla, Oguz; Yilmaz, Emrah Sercan
    We present the formula for the number of monic irreducible polynomials of degree n over the finite field F-q where the coefficients of x(n)(-1) and x vanish for n >= 3. In particular, we give a relation between rational points of algebraic curves over finite fields and the number of elements a is an element of F-qn for which Trace(a) = 0 and Trace(a(-1)) = 0.
