The space $\Omega^1(X)$ of hyperelliptic curve $X$.

84 Views Asked by At

This is a problem I encountered when reading Algebraic Curves and Riemann Surfaces by Rick Miranda:

Show that if $X$ is a hyperelliptic curve with genus $g$ defined by $y^2=h(x)$, then the space $\Omega^1(X)=\{p(x)\frac{dx}{y}|\deg(p)\leq g-1\}$.

Any thoughts?
