Abstract

This paper determines the normal forms of hyperelliptic supersingular curves of genus g over an algebraically closed field F of characteristic 2 for 0 < g< 9. We also show that every hyperelliptic supersingular curve of genus 9 over F has an equation y²-y=x¹9+c⁸x⁹+c³x for some c in F₂bar. The paper determines the dimensions of the open locus of hyperelliptic supersingular curves of genus g < 10 over F₂bar.
