Abstract

‎The a-number is an invariant of the isomorphism class of the p-torsion group scheme‎. ‎In this paper‎, ‎we compute a closed formula for the a-number of yq + ‎y =x(q+1)/3 and  $sum_{t=1}^{s} y^{q⁄ 3^t}= xq+1$ with q = 3s over the finite field‎ ‎Fq2 using the action of the Cartier operator on H0(C,Ω1).
