Superelliptic degree sets over Henselian fields
Abstract
Let $K$ be a discretely valued Henselian field. Creutz and Viray show that the degree set of a curve $C$ over a $p$-adic field can miss infinitely many multiples of the index of $C$, a phenomenon that cannot occur over finitely generated fields. For curves $C/K$ with a cyclic cover of $\mathbb{P}^1$ of prime degree, under mild assumptions, we completely characterize how and when this behavior can occur, and give a method for computing degree sets of curves of this type.
