Multi-valued hyperelliptic continued fractions of generalized Halphen type
Abstract
Description
We introduce and study higher genera generalizations of the Halphen theory of continued fractions. The basic notion we start with is hyperelliptic Haplhen (HH) element $$\frac{\sqrt{X_{2g+2}}-\sqrt{Y_{2g+2}}}{x-y},$$ depending on parameter $y$, where $X_{2g+2}$ is a polynomial of degree $2g+2$ and $Y_{2g+2}=X_{2g+2}(y)$. We study regular and irregular HH elements. their continued fraction development and some basic properties of such development: even and odd symmetry and periodicity.
