Abstract
For a relatively minimal fibration f : X → P1 of non-hyperelliptic curves of genus g, we know the Picard number ρ(X) ≤ 3g + 8. We study the case where ρ(X) = 3g + 8 and the Mordell-Weil group of f is trivial. Such an f occurs only if g ≡ 0 or 1 (mod 3), and we describe such f : X → P1 explicitly.
