Uniqueness of the maximal function field with the third largest genus in characteristic $3$
Abstract
Let n be a positive integer and define q=3n. It is well known that there exists a maximal function field Z3 over π½q2 of genus g3=q(qβ1)/6 and that g3 is the third largest genus a maximal function field over π½q2 can have. In this article we show that any maximal function field over π½q2 of genus g3 is isomorphic to Z3. This extends previously known uniqueness result for the largest and second largest genera of maximal curves.

AB - Let n be a positive integer and define q=3^n. It is well known that there exists a maximal function field Z_3 over π½_q^2 of genus g_3=q(qβ1)/6 and that g_3 is the third largest genus a maximal function field over π½_q^2 can have. In this article we show that any maximal function field over π½_q^2 of genus g_3 is isomorphic to Z_3. This extends previously known uniqueness result for the largest and second largest genera of maximal curves.
