Samenvatting
To an algebraic curve C over the complex numbers one can associate a non-negative integer g, the genus, as a measure of its complexity. One can also associate to C, via complex analysis, a g × g symmetric matrix Ω called period matrix (or equivalently, its analytic Jacobian). Because of the natural relation between C and Ω, one can obtain information of one by studying the other. Therefore, it makes sense to consider the inverse problem.
Inverse Jacobian problem: "Given a matrix Ω, is it the period matrix associated to any curve? If so, give a model of such a curve."
In this thesis we treat these two problems for two families of superelliptic curves, that is, curves of the form y^k = (x - \alpha_1)....(x - \alpha_l).
We focus on the family of Picard curves, with (k,l) = (3,4) and genus 3, and the family of cyclic plane quintic curves (CPQ curves), with (k,l) = (5,5) and genus 6. We solve the inverse Jacobian problem from a computational point of view, that is, we provide an algorithm to obtain a model for the curve from the period matrix.
We also present one application for the above algorithms: constructing curves such that their Jacobians have complex multiplication. In particular, we determine a complete list of CM-fields whose ring of integers occur as the endomorphism ring over the complex numbers of the Jacobian of a CPQ curve defined over the rational numbers.

Proefschriften
Proefschriften van Leidse promovendi zijn na de promotie digitaal beschikbaar via het Leids Repositorium. De proefschriften op deze site zijn vrij toegankelijk. Alleen in sommige gevallen rust er een tijdelijk embargo op een proefschrift en wordt het proefschrift pas later volledig beschikbaar gesteld.
