Abstract |
|
We show that the average size of the -Selmer group of the family of Jacobians of nonhyperelliptic genus- curves with a marked rational hyperflex point, when ordered by a natural height, is bounded above by . We achieve this by interpreting -Selmer elements as integral orbits of a representation associated with a stable -grading on the Lie algebra of type and using Bhargava’s orbit-counting techniques. We use this result to show that the marked point is the only rational point for a positive proportion of curves in this family. The main novelties are the construction of integral representatives using certain properties of the compactified Jacobian of the simple curve singularity of type , and a representation-theoretic interpretation of a Mumford theta group naturally associated to our family of curves. |
