Algebraic Function Fields

Sage allows basic computations with elements and ideals in orders of algebraic function fields over arbitrary constant fields. Advanced computations, like computing the genus or a basis of the Riemann-Roch space of a divisor, are available for function fields over finite fields, number fields, and the algebraic closure of \(\QQ\).

A basic reference for the theory of algebraic function fields is [Stich2009].

Jacobians of function fields

Arithmetic in Jacobians of function fields are available in two flavors.
