My professor of algebraic function fields class gave me a paper to make a project (give the proof details, fill some gaps, etc). As my previous question here suggests, the paper he gave me is hard for me. He says if I know another paper to work, it's ok. He is very busy and he doesn't care about me and leaves me to find another one.
My background:
I finished Fulton's algebraic curves book.
I finished the third chapter of Stichtenoth's Algebraic function fields and codes.
I've heard that if we finish the third chapter of Stichtenoth's book we're prepared to make some research in the area.
However, as I said my ambition is much lower, is there some paper which I can read by myself with ONLY this background? I need some suggestions.
I don't know if I have many choices, so ANY paper following these criteria not so old, it would be great, really.
I hope not asking so much, I really need help, you're my last chance.
Thanks very much in advance
