Abstract
We show that torsion points of certain orders are not on a theta divisor in the Jacobian variety of a hypereiliptic curve given by the equation y 2 =x2g+1 + x with g ≥ 2. The proof employs a method of Anderson who proved an analogous result for a cyclic quotient of a Fermat curve of prime degree.
