New maximal curves as ray class fields over Deligne-Lusztig curves
Abstract
We construct new covers of the Suzuki and Ree curves which are maximal with respect to the Hasse-Weil bound over suitable finite fields. These covers are analogues of the Giulietti-Korchm\'aros curve, which covers the Hermitian curve and is maximal over a base field extension. We show that the maximality of these curves implies that of certain ray class field extensions of each of the Deligne-Lusztig curves. Moreover, we show that the Giulietti-Korchm\'aros curve is equal to the above-mentioned ray class field extension of the Hermitian curve.
