Bhargava's conjecture on the lowest odd-degree point of hyperelliptic curves
Bhargava's conjecture on the lowest odd-degree point of hyperelliptic curves
Let be the genus of a hyperelliptic curve. Consider locally soluble hyperelliptic curves that have points of odd degree. Bhargava's conjecture. As the family is ordered in the sense of the paper, of these curves have an odd-degree point of lowest degree exactly or , whichever of these two integers is odd. This predicts the smallest odd degree represented by such a curve in the large-genus limit.
