Weierstrass Semigroups From a Tower of Function Fields Attaining the Drinfeld-Vladut Bound
2019
For applications in algebraic geometric codes, an explicit description of bases of Riemann-Roch spaces of divisors on function fields over finite fields is needed. We investigate the third function field $ F^{(3)} $ in a tower of Artin-Schreier extensions described by Garcia and Stichtenoth reaching the Drinfeld-Vl{ă}du{ţ} bound. We construct bases for the related Riemann-Roch spaces on $ F^{(3)} $ and present some basic properties of divisors on a line. From the bases, we explicitly calculate the Weierstrass semigroups and pure gaps at several places on $ F^{(3)} $. All of these results can be viewed as a generalization of the previous work done by Voss and Hoholdt (1997).
