Abstract

We establish an aysmptotic formula for the number of points with coordinates in \mbFq[t]\mb{F}_q[t] on a complete intersection of degree dd defined over \mbFq[t]\mb{F}_q[t], with explicit error term, provided that the characteristic of \mbFq\mb{F}_q is greater than dd, the codimension of the singular locus of the complete intersection is large enough, and this intersection has a non-singular point at each place of \mbFq[t]\mb{F}_q[t]. In particular, when this complete intersection is non-singular, we show that it satisfies weak approximation.
