On the sheaves-functions dictionary
Let $X$ be a variety over a finite field $k$. Let $\pi_{1}(X)$ be the arithmetic etale fundamental group of $X$, and $\rho:\pi_{1}(X)\to k^{\times}$ a continuous character. If $x: \text{Spec}(k)\to X$ ...

On the estimate for a double exponential sum
I encounter a hyper-Kloosterman sum which needs some help from the experts here:
For any integers $q,s \in \mathbb{N}^+$(which may not be necessarily co-prime with each other), how to bound the sum:
$$...

Fermat cubic hypersurfaces over finite fields
Consider the Fermat cubic
$$
X = \{x_0^3+\dots +x_n^3 = 0\}\subset\mathbb{P}^n_{\mathbb{F}_{q}}
$$
over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_{q}$ with $q$ elements.
If $q \equiv 2 \mod 3$ then the projection $\...

Varieties with the same number of $\mathbb{F}_p$-points for all but finitely many primes
If two varieties over $\mathbb{Q}$ have the same number of $\mathbb{F}_p$-points for all but finitely many primes do they have the same number of $\mathbb{F}_{p^n}$-points for all $n>1$ and for all ...

Chevalley-Warning-Ax for double covers
Let $f(x_1,\ldots,x_n)$ be a polynomial of degree $d$ with coefficients in the finite field $\mathbb F_q$ and let $V(f)\subseteq\mathbb F_q^n$ be its set of zeroes. Assume $d<n$. Then Chevalley ...

Does the cardinality of coordinate projections of the rational points of affine varieties over finite fields also tend to $\infty$?
We know (basically by Lang-Weil) that for an absolutely irreducible n-dimensional affine variety $V$ the cardinality $\#V(F_{l})$ tends to $\infty$ for $l$ large enough. We could now look at the set ...

A functor on Abelian varieties corresponding to this operation on Weil numbers
Let $A/\mathbb F_q$ be an abelian variety over a finite field with Weil numbers $q^{1/2}\alpha_1,\dots,q^{1/2}\alpha_n$.
Consider the numbers $q^{d/2}\alpha_1,\dots,q^{d/2}\alpha_n$. These are still ...

The product of two supersingular elliptic curves is independent of which ones we pick
In a comment on this MO question, Qing Liu says "In positive characteristic p, if you take two supersingular elliptic curves $E_1,E_2$, then $E_i×E_j$ is isomorphic to $E^2_1$ for any pair $i,j$."

Zeta function of Abelian variety over finite field
Let $A/\mathbf{F}_q$ be an Abelian variety of dimension $g$. Suppose one knows $|A(\mathbf{F}_{q^n})|$ for all $1 \leq n \leq g$. Does one know then $\zeta(A,s)$ (equivalently, $|A(\mathbf{F}_{q^n})|$ ...

Why we are interested in p>3 Schoof's algorithm
In the Schoof's algorithm we are particularly interested in $char(K)>3$, where $K$ is the field. I know Schoof's algorithm is mostly used over large prime fields. Also, when we are transforming ...

Is there a presentation to the kernel of the prime-to-$p$ fundamental short exact sequence of curves over finite fields?
Let $X$ be $\mathbb{P}^1_{\mathbb{F}_q}\smallsetminus \{a_1,...,a_r\}$, where $a_1,...,a_r$ are some $\mathbb{F}_q$-rational points. Let $\bar X :=X_{\bar{\mathbb{F}}_q}$. There is a short exact ...

A comprehensive overview of finite fields
I've read numerous introductions to finite fields, but I feel like my intuition about them is fairly lacking. Considering that finite fields are the the most "inert" objects in algebraic geometry, I ...
