Algebraic Curves
Part II, 2001

Let CC be the projective curve (over an algebraically closed field kk of characteristic zero) defined by the affine equation

x5+y5=1x^{5}+y^{5}=1

Determine the points at infinity of CC and show that CC is smooth.

Determine the divisors of the rational functions x,yk(C)x, y \in k(C).

Show that ω=dx/y4\omega=d x / y^{4} is a regular differential on CC.

Compute the divisor of ω\omega. What is the genus of CC ?
