Hyperelliptic curves over a finite field

EXAMPLES:

sage: K.<a> = GF(9, 'a')
sage: x = polygen(K)
sage: C = HyperellipticCurve(x^7 - x^5 - 2, x^2 + a)
sage: C._points_fast_sqrt()
[(0 : 1 : 0), (2*a : 2*a + 2 : 1), (2*a : 2*a : 1), (a + 1 : a : 1), (a + 1 : a + 1 : 1), (2 : a + 1 : 1), (1 : a + 1 : 1)]

frobenius_polynomial()

Charpoly of frobenius, as an element of ZZ[x].

TESTS::

sage: R.<t> = PolynomialRing(GF(37)) sage: H = HyperellipticCurve(t^5 + t + 2) sage: H.frobenius_polynomial() x^4 + x^3 - 52*x^2 + 37*x + 1369

A quadratic twist:

sage: H = HyperellipticCurve(2*t^5 + 2*t + 4) sage: H.frobenius_polynomial() x^4 - x^3 - 52*x^2 - 37*x + 1369
