We show that $X$ can be defined over its field of moduli if it has odd signature, i.e. if the signature of the covering $X\\to X/\\Aut(X)$ is of type $(0;c_1,...,c_k)$, where some $c_i$ appears an odd number of times. This result is applied to $q$-gonal curves and to plane quartics. For $q$-gonal curves, we prove that non-normal $q$-gonal curves can be defined over their field of moduli and we construct examples of normal $q$-gonal curves with field of moduli $\\mathbb{R}$ that can not be defined over $\\ma"},"claims":{"count":0,"items":[],"snapshot_sha256":"258153158e38e3291e3d48162225fcdb2d5a3ed65a07baac614ab91432fd4f57"},"source":{"id":"1111.4489","kind":"arxiv","version":2},"verdict":{"id":null,"model_set":{},"created_at":null,"strongest_claim":"","one_line_summary":"","pipeline_version":null,"weakest_assumption":"","pith_extraction_headline":""},"references":{"count":0,"sample":[],"resolved_work":0,"snapshot_sha256":"258153158e38e3291e3d48162225fcdb2d5a3ed65a07baac614ab91432fd4f57","internal_anchors":0},"formal_canon":{"evidence_count":0,"snapshot_sha256":"258153158e38e3291e3d48162225fcdb2d5a3ed65a07baac614ab91432fd4f57"},"author_claims":{"count":0,"strong_count":0,"snapshot_sha256":"258153158e38e3291e3d48162225fcdb2d5a3ed65a07baac614ab91432fd4f57"},"builder_version":"pith-number-builder-2026-05-17-v1"}
