On cubic Kummer type towers of Garcia, Stichtenoth and Thomas

TextIn this paper we study the structure of a class of cubic tame towers having finite ramification locus. These towers were defined by Garcia, Stichtenoth and Thomas in 1997. We also prove some extensions of a well known result of H. Lenstra Jr. on the infiniteness of the ramification locus of these towers.VideoFor a video summary of this paper, please visit https://youtu.be/NYcajjrrVLI.
