what is the maximum number of rational points of a curve of genus 2 over the rationals
Conjecturally, there exists an integer $n$ such that the number of rational points of a genus $2$ curve over $\mathbf{Q}$ is at most $n$. (This follows from the Bombieri-Lang conjecture.)
We are ...

Pointless, non-singular, absolutely irreducible affine plane curves over finite fields
We think the following is true:
For all sufficiently large primes $p$ and all natural $g \ge 1$, there
exists affine plane curve $f(x,y)=0$ over $\mathbb{F}_p$ which
is non-singular, absolutely ...
