Abstract

In this paper, we construct some families of infinitely many hyperelliptic curves of genus 2 with exactly two rational points. In the proof, we first show that the Mordell-Weil ranks of these hyperelliptic curves are 0 and then determine the sets of rational points by using the Lutz-Nagell type theorem for hyperelliptic curves which was proven by Grant.
