Review text

The authors compute the number of solutions in \(L_r^s := ([X]/(p(X)^r))^s\) of the equations NEWLINE\[NEWLINE \alpha_1(z_r)t_1^2 + \cdots + \alpha_s(z_r)t_s^2, \quad 1\leq s\leq r, NEWLINE\]NEWLINE where the coefficients \(\alpha_i\) and \(\beta\) are in \(L_r^s\), \(K\) is a finite field and \(p\) is a monic irreducible polynomial in \(K[X]\). They also obtain the corresponding Poincaré series.
