Classification of genus 3 curves in special strata of the moduli space

We describe the invariants of plane quartic curves -- nonhyperelliptic genus 3 curves in their canonical model -- as determined by Dixmier and Ohno, with application to the classification of curves with given structure. In particular, we determine modular equations for the strata in the moduli space $\Me_3$ of plane quartics which have at least seven hyperflexes, and obtain an computational characterization of curves in these strata.

Efficiently computable endomorphisms for hyperelliptic curves

Elliptic curves have a well-known and explicit theory for the construction and application of endomorphisms, which can be applied to improve performance in scalar multiplication. Recent work has extended these techniques to hyperelliptic Jacobians, but one obstruction is the lack of explicit models of curves together with an efficiently computable endomorphism. In the case of hyperelliptic curves there are limited examples, most methods focusing on special CM curves or curves defined over a small field. In this article we describe three infinite families of curves which admit an efficiently computable endomorphism, and give algorithms for their efficient application.
