Abstract

For Fermat curves F:aXn+bYn=Zn\mathcal{F}:aX^n+bY^n=Z^n defined over Fq\mathbb{F}_q, we establish necessary and sufficient conditions for F\mathcal{F} to be Fq\mathbb{F}_q-Frobenius nonclassical with respect to the linear system of plane cubics. In the Fq\mathbb{F}_q-Frobenius nonclassical cases, we determine explicit formulas for the number Nq(F)N_q(\mathcal{F}) of Fq\mathbb{F}_q-rational points on F\mathcal{F}. For the remaining Fermat curves, nice upper bounds for Nq(F)N_q(\mathcal{F}) are immediately given by the St\"ohr-Voloch Theory.
