Number of rational points of a singular curve

From MaRDI portal





The main results of the paper are: (1) Let \(X\) be a complete, geometrically irreducible, possibly singular algebraic curve of geometric genus \(\widetilde g\), defined over a finite field \({\mathbb F}_q\). Then \[ | \#X({\mathbb F}_{q^n})-(q^n+1)| \leq 2{\widetilde g}q^{n/2}+\delta-\gamma, \] where \(\delta\) is the usual degree of singularity, and \(\gamma\) is another sum of local terms, which are the dimensions of algebraic groups attached to each singular point of \(X\). This is a refinement of known Hasse-Weil bounds for singular curves. (2) An extension of the Drinfeld-Vladut asymptotic bound to families of geometrically irreducible singular curves.
