Rational points on hyperelliptic curves having a marked non-Weierstrass point
Bibliographic record
Abstract
In this paper, we consider the family of hyperelliptic curves over $\mathbb{Q}$ having a fixed genus $n$ and a marked rational non-Weierstrass point. We show that when $n\geqslant 9$ , a positive proportion of these curves have exactly two rational points, and that this proportion tends to one as $n$ tends to infinity. We study rational points on these curves by first obtaining results on the 2-Selmer groups of their Jacobians. In this direction, we prove that the average size of the 2-Selmer groups of the Jacobians of curves in our family is bounded above by 6, which implies a bound of $5/2$ on the average rank of these Jacobians. Our results are natural extensions of Poonen and Stoll [ Most odd degree hyperelliptic curves have only one rational point , Ann. of Math. (2) 180 (2014), 1137–1166] and Bhargava and Gross [ The average size of the 2-Selmer group of Jacobians of hyperelliptic curves having a rational Weierstrass point , in Automorphic representations and $L$ - functions , Tata Inst. Fundam. Res. Stud. Math., vol. 22 (Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, Mumbai, 2013), 23–91], where the analogous results are proved for the family of hyperelliptic curves with a marked rational Weierstrass point.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
