Complete set of Pure Gaps in Function Fields
In this work, we provide a way to completely determine the set of pure gaps
at two rational places in a function field over
a finite field , and its cardinality. Furthermore, we given a
bound for the cardinality of the set which is better, in some
cases, than the generic bound given by Homma and Kim. As a consequence, we
completely determine the set of pure gaps and its cardinality for two families
of function fields: the function field and Kummer extensions.Comment: 22 page
Weierstrass Semigroup, Pure Gaps and Codes on Kummer Extensions
We determine the Weierstrass semigroup at one and two totally ramified places
in a Kummer extension defined by the affine equation over , the algebraic closure of ,
where are pairwise distinct elements, and
. For an arbitrary function field, from the
knowledge of the minimal generating set of the Weierstrass semigroup at two
rational places, the set of pure gaps is characterized. We apply these results
to construct algebraic geometry codes over certain function fields with many
rational places.Comment: 24 page
The Set of Pure Gaps at Several Rational Places in Function Fields
In this work, using maximal elements in generalized Weierstrass semigroups
and its relationship with pure gaps, we extend the results in \cite{CMT2024}
and provide a way to completely determine the set of pure gaps at several
rational places in an arbitrary function field over a finite field and its
cardinality. As an example, we determine the cardinality and a simple explicit
description of the set of pure gaps at several rational places distinct to the
infinity place on Kummer extensions, which is a different characterization from
that presented by Hu and Yang in \cite{HY2018}. Furthermore, we present some
applications in coding theory and AG codes with good parameters
