Abstract

<p> We exhibit an algorithm to compute equations of an algebraic curve over a computable characteristic 0 field from the power series expansions of its regular 1-forms at a <italic>nonrational</italic> point of the curve, extending a 2005 algorithm of Baker, González-Jiménez, González, and Poonen for expansions at a rational point. If the curve is hyperelliptic, the equations present it as an explicit double cover of a smooth plane conic, or as a double cover of the projective line when possible. If the curve is nonhyperelliptic, the equations cut out the canonical model. The algorithm has been used to compute equations over <inline-formula content-type="math/mathml"> <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" alttext="double-struck upper Q"> <mml:semantics> <mml:mrow class="MJX-TeXAtom-ORD"> <mml:mi mathvariant="double-struck">Q</mml:mi> </mml:mrow> <mml:annotation encoding="application/x-tex">\mathbb {Q}</mml:annotation> </mml:semantics> </mml:math> </inline-formula> for many hyperelliptic modular curves without a rational cusp in the L-functions and Modular Forms Database. </p>
