Abstract

We prove that a geometrically integral smooth 3-fold XX with nef anti-canonical class and negative Kodaira dimension over a finite field Fq\mathbb{F}_q of characteristic p>5p>5 and cardinality q=pe>19q=p^e > 19 has a rational point. Additionally, under the same assumptions on pp and qq, we show that a 3-fold XX with trivial canonical class and non-zero first Betti number b1(X)0b_1(X) \neq 0 has a rational point. Our techniques rely on the Minimal Model Program to establish several structure results for generalized log Calabi--Yau 3-fold pairs over perfect fields.
