Abstract
The aim of this paper is to present an exhaustive algebraic study of a new class of curves, the so-called Quasihermitian curves (that includes the Hermitian curves), computing its genus. These curves allow to construct good algebraic geometric Goppa codes since they are absolutely irreducible plane curves with many rational points on Fq.
