In this paper, we characterize all curves over $\mathbb{F}_q$ arising from a plane section $$ \mathcal{P} : X_3-e_0X_0-e_1X_1-e_2X_2 = 0 $$ of the Fermat surface $$ \mathcal{S} : X_0^d + X_1^d + X_2^d +X_3^d = 0, $$ where $q = p^{h} = 2d+1$…
Theoretical results are known about the completeness of a planar algebraic cubic curve as a (n,3)-arc in PG(2,q). They hold for q big enough and sometimes have restriction on the characteristic and on the value of the j-invariant. We…
A lower bound on the minimum degree of the plane algebraic curves containing every point in a large point-set $K$ of the Desarguesian plane $PG(2,q)$ is obtained. The case where $K$ is a maximal $(k,n)$-arc is considered to greater extent.
In this note we study rational curves on degree $p^r+1$ Fermat hypersurface in $\PP^{p^r+1}_k$, where $k$ is an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p$. The key point is that the presence of Frobenius morphism makes the behavior of…
Let $\mathcal{G}$ be the projective plane curve defined over $\mathbb{F}_q$ given by $$aX^nY^n-X^nZ^n-Y^nZ^n+bZ^{2n}=0,$$ where $ab\notin\{0,1\}$, and for each $s\in\{2,\ldots,n-1\}$, let $\mathcal{D}_s^{P_1,P_2}$ be the base-point-free…
We give a construction of singular curves with many rational points over finite fields. This construction enables us to prove some results on the maximum number of rational points on an absolutely irreducible projective algebraic curve…
We determine the isogeny classes of abelian surfaces over F_q whose group of F_q-rational points has order divisible by q^2. We also solve the same problem for Jacobians of genus-2 curves.
This is an extended version of an invited lecture I gave at the Journees Arithmetiques in St. Etienne in July 2009. We discuss the state of the art regarding the problem of finding the set of rational points on a (smooth projective)…
Let $C$ be a curve defined over a number field $K$. A point $P\in C(\overline{\mathbb{Q}})$ is called $K$-quadratic if $[K(P):K]=2$. Let $K$ be a number field such that the rank of the elliptic curves $E_1:\,y^2= x^3 + 4x$ and $E_2:\,y^2=…
We generalize the work of Dem'janenko and Silverman for the Fermat quartics, effectively determining the rational points on the curves $x^{2m}+ax^m+ay^m+y^{2m}=b$ whenever the ranks of some companion hyperelliptic Jacobians are at most one.…
In this paper we consider the curves $H_{k,t}^{(p)} : y^{p^k}+y=x^{p^{kt}+1}$ over $\mathbb F_p$ and and find an exact formula for the number of $\mathbb F_{p^n}$-rational points on $H_{k,t}^{(p)}$ for all integers $n\ge 1$. We also give…
For each integer $k \in [0,9]$, we count the number of plane cubic curves defined over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ that do not share a common component and intersect in exactly $k\ \mathbb{F}_q$-rational points. We set this up as a…
Consider a pair of ordinary elliptic curves $E$ and $E'$ defined over the same finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$. Suppose they have the same number of $\mathbb{F}_q$-rational points, i.e. $|E(\mathbb{F}_q)|=|E'(\mathbb{F}_q)|$. In this paper we…
A smooth hypersurface over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ is called Frobenius nonclassical if the image of every geometric point under the $q$-th Frobenius endomorphism remains in the unique hyperplane tangent to the point. In this paper, we…
The number of rational points of a plane non-singular algebraic curve X defined over a finite field is computed, provided that the generic point of X is not an inflexion and that X is Frobenius non-classical with respect to conics.
In characteristic $p>0$ and for $q$ a power of $p$, we compute the number of nonplanar rational curves of arbitrary degrees on a smooth Hermitian surface of degree $q+1$ under the assumption that the curves have a parametrization given by…
We show that even dimensional Fermat cubic hypersurfaces are rational over any field of characteristic different from three by producing explicit rational parametrizations given by polynomials of low degree. As a byproduct of our…
Tables of sizes of random complete arcs in the plane $PG(2,q)$ are given. The sizes are close to the smallest known sizes of complete arcs in $PG(2,q)$, in particular, to ones constructed by Algorithm FOP (fixed order of points). The random…
Let R be a commutative ring with 1. For every homogeneous polynomial f(X_0,X_1,X_2) in R[X_0,X_1,X_2] of degree d <= 25, we find a explicit linear Pfaffian R-representation of f. We describe an empirical method that leads us to find such…
A plane curve $C\subset\mathbb{P}^2$ of degree $d$ is called \emph{blocking} if every $\mathbb{F}_q$-line in the plane meets $C$ at some $\mathbb{F}_q$-point. We prove that the proportion of blocking curves among those of degree $d$ is…
