On rational singularities and counting points of schemes over finite rings

Abstract: We study the connection between the singularities of a finite type

m a t h b b Z

-scheme X and the asymptotic point count of X over various finite rings. In particular, if the generic fiber

X_{m a t h b b Q} = X i m e s_{m a t h r m S p e c m a t h b b Z} m a t h r m S p e c m a t h b b Q

is a local complete intersection, we show that the boundedness of

f r a c l e f t | X (m a t h b b Z / p^{n} m a t h b b Z) i g h t | p^{n m a t h r m d i m X_{m a t h b b Q}}

in p and n is in fact equivalent to the condition that

X_{m a t h b b Q}

is reduced and has rational singularities. This paper completes a result of Aizenbud and Avni.
