Explicit equations for curves over finite fields with many rational points

Arnaldo Garcia

Keywords: curves | finite fields | rational points | towers | limit of towers

We present some results (just an overview) on rational points on curves over finite fields. We only treat the case of maximal curves and the case of towers (tame or wild) of curves.
