A new tower with good p-rank meeting Zink’s bound
In this article we investigate the asymptotic p-rank of a new tower of function fields defined over cubic finite fields. Its limit meets Zink's bound, but the new feature of this tower is that its asymptotic p-rank for small cubic finite fields is much smaller than that of other cubic towers for which the asymptotic p-rank is known.
This is of independent interest, but also makes this new tower more interesting for theoretical applications in cryptography.
