A new preprint on a maximal curve with third largest genus is now available on arXiv here.
The authors are algebra group members Peter Beelen and Maria Montanucci as well as our former Ph.D. student Lara Vicino. This work was started during Lara’s time as a Ph.D. student, but the final touches of this work could only be given recently. We hope that more collaboration with Lara will take place in the future!
