Abstract

In this paper, we determine the set of algebraic points of degree at most 2 over $\mathbb{Q}$ on the curve $C_{5,5}(11)$ given by the affine equation $y^{11}=x^5(x-1)^5$. Indeed, we consider a particular case of quotients of Fermat curves $C_{r, s}(p): y^p=x^r(x-1)^s$ with the conditions $1 \leq r, s$ and $r+s \leq p-1$. These curves are described by Sall in [4] who extended the work of Gross and Rohrlich in [2].
