Let C⊂P2 be the plane curve given by the polynomial
X0n−X1n−X2n
over the field of complex numbers, where n⩾3.
(i) Show that C is nonsingular.
(ii) Compute the divisors of the rational functions
x=X0X1,y=X0X2
on C.
(iii) Consider the morphism ϕ=(X0:X1):C→P1. Compute its ramification points and degree.
(iv) Show that a basis for the space of regular differentials on C is
{xiyjω0∣i,j⩾0,i+j⩽n−3}
where ω0=dx/yn−1.
