Abstract
In this paper, an algorithm to enumerate non-hyperelliptic superspecial curves of genus $4$ over finite fields of characteristic $p \geq 5$ is constructed. As an application, the algorithm is used to enumerate non-hyperelliptic superspecial curves of genus $4$ over prime fields of characteristic $p \leq 11$. Thanks to the fact that the number of $\mathbb{F}_{p^a}$-isomorphism classes of superspecial curves over $\mathbb{F}_{p^a}$ of a fixed genus depends only on the parity of $a$, this paper contributes to the odd-degree case for genus $4$, whereas our previous work (Kudo-Harashita: Superspecial curves of genus $4$ in small characteristic) contributes to the even-degree case. This paper is the full-version of our conference paper (Kudo-Harashita: Enumerating Superspecial Curves of Genus $4$ over Prime Fields) presented at WCC2017.
