Descent methods and torsion on Jacobians of higher genus curves

<p>In this thesis we accomplish four main results related to Jacobians of curves.</p> <p>Firstly, we find a large number of hyperelliptic curves of genus 2, 3 and 4 whose Jacobians have torsion points of large order. The genus 2 case is particularly well-studied in the literature,...
