Computation of sets of rational points of genus-3 curves via the Dem'janenko-Manin method

Martine Girard and Leopoldo Kulesz



Abstract: The authors construct two families of genus-3 curves defined over Q(t) with three independent morphisms to an elliptic curve of rank at most two. They give explicit examples of an application of the Dem'janenko–Manin method that completely determines both the set of the Q(t)-rational points of the curves under consideration, and the set of Q-rational points of some specialisations.
