Abstract

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.
