Abstract
Let K be a field of odd characteristic p, let f(x) be an irreducible separable polynomial of degree n ≥ 5 with big Galois group (the symmetric group or the alternating group). Let C be the hyperelliptic curve y2 = f(x) and J(C) its jacobian. We prove that J(C) does not have nontrivial endomorphisms over an algebraic closure of K if either n ≥ 7 or p ≠ 3.
