About the Group Law for the Jacobi Variety of a Hyperelliptic Curve Frank Leitenberger Fachbereich Mathematik, Universit¨at Rostock Rostock, D-18051, Germany e-mail: frank.leitenberger@mathematik.uni-rostock.de Abstract. We generalize the group law of curves of degree three by chords and tangents to the Jacobi variety of a hyperelliptic curve. In the case of genus 2 we accomplish the construction by a cubic parabola. We derive explicit rational formulas for the addition on a dense set in the Jacobian. 1. Introduction The intention of this remark is an explicit description of the group law of hyperelliptic curves. It appears that it is possible to generalize the chord and tangent method for curves of degree three in a very naive way by replacing points by point groups of g points and by replacing lines by certain interpolation functions. Explicit descriptions of the group law play a less important role in the history of the subject. They appear first in the new literature. Cassels remarked 1983: “I cannot even find in the literature an explicit set of equations for the Jacobian of a curve of genus 2 together with explicit expressions for the group operation in a form amenable to calculation . . .” (cf. [2, 3]). Mazur remarked 1986: “. . . a naive attempt to generalize this group structure [of degree 3 curves] to curves of higher degree (even quartics) will not work.” (cf. [8], p. 230). With the development of cryptography arose algorithms for the group law. In 1987 Cantor described the group law of a hyperelliptic curve in
