Abstract
In 1991 S{\o}rensen proposed a conjecture for the maximum number of points on the intersection of a surface of degree and a non-degenerate Hermitian surface in . The conjecture was proven to be true by Edoukou in the case when . In this paper, we prove that the conjecture is true for and . We further determine the second highest number of rational points on the intersection of a cubic surface and a non-degenerate Hermitian surface. Finally, we classify all the cubic surfaces that admit the highest and second highest number of points in common with a non-degenerate Hermitian surface. This classifications disproves one of the conjectures proposed by Edoukou, Ling and Xing.
