Submersion implies many rational points in image?
Let $A \colon V \to W$ be a surjective linear map
(defined over $\mathbb{Z}$),
inducing a projection
$\alpha \colon \mathbb{P}(V) \to \mathbb{P}(W)$.
Let $X \subseteq \mathbb{P}(V)$ and $Y \...

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 ...

Smooth surfaces in positive characteristic
Let $K = \mathbb{F}_p$ be a field of positive characteristic $p > 0$. Consider a surface in $\mathbb{A}^3_K$ of the following form
$$
S = \{f_1(x_0)y_0^2+f_2(x_0)y_0y_1+f_3(x_0)y_0+f_4(x_0)y_1^2+...

Density of rational points over finite fields, an estimate of Lang-Weil constant
Let $X\hookrightarrow\mathbb P^n_{\mathbb F_q}$ be a geometrically integral hypersurface over the finite field $\mathbb F_q$ of degree $\delta$. In order to estimate the number of its rational points, ...

Number of rational points of a singular cubic surface over a finite field
I have a (geometrically irreducible) cubic surface defined over a finite field $F_q$ with three non-$F_q$-rational singularities (defined over the cubic extension of $F_q$).
Counting the number of $...

Properties of pointless projective curves over finite fields?
Probably not research level, feel free to downvote.
We got construction of bounded degree projective curves
with no points over finite fields. This construction generalizes to higher dimension.
One of ...

Primes of the form $p=u^2+1$ and number of points on the elliptic curve $x^3+a x z^2=y^2 z$
Let $p$ be prime of the form $p=u^2+1$. For $a \in \mathbb{F}_p,a \ne 0$,
define
$E_a : x^3+a x z^2=y^2 z$
Let $B= \lfloor 2 \sqrt{p}\rfloor$
Must we have $(\#E_a(\mathbb{F}_p) -p - 1) \in \{2,-2,B,-B\...

Bounds for the number of points on projective hyperelliptic curves over finite fields
Let $C$ be projective hyperelliptic curve over finite field $K$.
What are bounds for the number of points $\#C(K)$?
The Hasse-Weil bound requires smooth curves, and hyperelliptic curves are
not smooth ...
