Abstract

In this paper we study the projective normality of certain Artin-Schreier curves Y_f defined over a field F of characteristic p by the equations y^q+y=f(x), q being a power of p and f in F[x] being a polynomial in x of degree m, with (m,p)=1. Many Y_f curves are singular and so, to be precise, here we study the projective normality of appropriate projective models of their normalization.
