Abstract

Let Fq2 be the finite field with q2 elements. Most of the known Fq2 -maximal curves arise as quotient curves of the Fq2 -maximal Hermitian curve Hq. After a seminal paper by Garcia, Stichtenoth and Xing, many papers have provided genera of quotients of Hq, but their complete determination is a challenging open problem. In this paper we determine completely the spectrum of genera of quotients of Hq for any q ≡ 1 (mod 4).
