Weierstraßsemigroups and nodal curves of type p,q
We study plane curves of type p,q having only nodes as singularities. Every Weierstraßsemigroup is the Weierstraßsemigroup of such a curve at its place at infinity for properly chosen p,q. We construct plane curves of type p,q with explicitly given nodes and determine their Weierstraßsemigroups. Many such semigroups are found.
