Abstract

Let Q1\mathcal{Q}_1 and Q2\mathcal{Q}_2 be two arbitrary quadrics with no common hyperplane in Pn(Fq){\mathbb{P}}^n(\mathbb{F}_q). We give the best upper bound for the number of points in the intersection of these two quadrics. Our result states that Q1Q24qn2+πn3| \mathcal{Q}_1\cap \mathcal{Q}_2|\le 4q^{n-2}+\pi_{n-3}. This result inspires us to establish the conjecture on the number of points of an algebraic set XPn(Fq)X\subset {\mathbb{P}}^n(\mathbb{F}_q) of dimension ss and degree dd: X(Fq)dqs+πs1|X(\mathbb{F}_q)|\le dq^s+\pi_{s-1}.
