Série de Poincaré pour certaines courbes. (Poincaré series for certain curves) (Q1177669)

Let \(p\) be a fixed prime number and let \(f(x,y)\) be a polynomial with coefficients in \(\mathbb{Z}_ p\), the \(p\)-adic integers. Let \(C_ n\) denote the number of solutions of \(f=0\) over the ring \(\mathbb{Z}/p^ n\mathbb{Z}\). We define the Poincaré series \(P_ f(t)=\sum^ \infty_{i=0}C_ it^ i\) associated with the polynomial \(f\). The author gives an algebraic- combinatorial approach for the explicit computing of \(C_ n\) and \(P_ f(t)\) when \(f(x,y)=\alpha x^ a+\beta y^ b\), \(f(x,y)=\alpha x^ a+\beta xy^ b\), and \(f(x,y)=\alpha yx^ a+\beta xy^ b\).
