Weierstrass semigroup at m+1 rational points in maximal curves which cannot be covered by the Hermitian curve
We determine the Weierstrass semigroup H(P_∞,P_1,…,P_m) at several rational points on the maximal curves which cannot be covered by the Hermitian curve introduced by Tafazolian, Teherán-Herrera, and Torres. Furthermore, we present some conditions to find pure gaps. We use this semigroup to obtain AG codes with better relative parameters than comparable one-point AG codes arising from these curves.
