We give an explicit description of the 𝔽qi-rational points on the Fermat curve uq-1 + vq-1 + wq-1 = 0, for i ∈{1, 2, 3}. As a consequence, we observe that for any such point (u, v, w), the product uvw is a cube in 𝔽qi. We also describe the 𝔽q2-rational points on the Fermat surface uq-1 + vq-1 + wq-1 + xq-1 = 0, and show that the product of the coordinates of any such point is a square.

Let [Formula: see text] be the [Formula: see text]-rational point on the Fermat curve [Formula: see text] with [Formula: see text]. It has recently been proved that if [Formula: see text] then each [Formula: see text] is a cube in [Formula: see text]. It is natural to wonder whether there is a generalization to [Formula: see text]. In this paper, we show that the result cannot be extended to [Formula: see text] in general and conjecture that each [Formula: see text] is a cube in [Formula: see text] if and only if [Formula: see text].

Curves Over Finite Fields

The Stöhr–Voloch approach has been largely used to deal with the classical problem of estimating the number of rational points of a Fermat curve over a finite field. The same method actually applies to any curve admitting as an automorphism group the direct product of two cyclic groups C1 and C2 of the same size k, and such that the quotient curves with respect to both C1 and C2 are rational. In this paper such a curve is called a generalized Fermat curve. Our main achievement is that of extending some known results on Fermat curves to generalized Fermat curves.

Natural Way

In honour of George Szekeres on his 90th birthdayIf X is a variety over a number field K, the set of K-rational points on X is contained in the subset of the adelic points cut out by the Brauer group; we call this set the set of Brauer points on the variety. If S is a set of valuations of K, we also define S-Brauer points in a natural way. It is natural to ask how good a bound on the rational points is provided by the Brauer (or S-Brauer) points.Let p > 3 be a prime number, and let X be the Fermat curve of degree p, xp + yp = 1. Let K be the field of p-th roots of unity, and let r be the p-rank of the class group of K. In this paper we show that if r < (p + 3)/8, then the set of p-Brauer points on X has cardinality at most p. We construct elements of the Brauer group of X by relating it to the Weil-Chatelet group of the jacobian of X, then use the method of Coleman and Chabauty to bound the points cut out by these elements.

Explicit Description

The purpose of this paper is to give an explicit description, in terms of hypergeometric functions over finite fields, of the zeta functions of certain smooth hypersurfaces that generalize the Dwork family. The key point here is that we count the number of rational points employing both the techniques of character sums and the theory of weights, which enables us to enlighten the calculation of the zeta function.

The purpose of this article is to construct families of elliptic curves E over finite fields F so that the groups of F-rational points of E are cyclic, by using a representation of the modular invariant function by a generator of a modular function field associated with the modular group Γ0(N), where N = 5, 7 or 13.

Abstract Let 𝓧 be the nonsingular model of a plane curve of type yn = f(x) over the finite field F of order q2, where f(x) is a separable polynomial of degree coprime to n. If the number of F-rational points of 𝓧 attains the Hasse–Weil bound, then the condition that n divides q+1 is equivalent to the solubility of f(x) in F; see [20]. In this paper, we investigate this condition for f(x) = xℓ(xm+1).
