Keywords:
hyperelliptic curve; Lang's conjecture
Summary:
We study the arithmetic properties of hyperelliptic curves given by the affine equation $y^2=x^n+a$ by exploiting the structure of the automorphism groups. We show that these curves satisfy Lang's conjecture about the covering radius (for some special covering maps).
