Review text

The author considers the question of determining the maximum number of rational points on a variety with given Betti numbers defined over a finite field. After reviewing what is known in the case of curves, the author obtains an asymptotic bound that generalizes the Drinfeld-Vladut bound for curves [\textit{S. Vladut} and \textit{V. Drinfeld}, Funct. Anal. Appl. 17, 53-54 (1983); translation from Funkts. Anal. Prilozh. 17, 68-69 (1983; Zbl 0522.14011)]. Then the author gives a bound obtained by the use of ``explicit formulas by \textit{G. Lachaud} and \textit{M. Tsafsman} [J. Reine Angew. Math. 493, 1-60 (1997; Zbl 0886.11036)]. In the next section, examples are given, including products of curves, Hermitian varieties, and Deligne-Lusztig varieties. In the final section, the author makes remarks on a program to determine the maximum number of rational points on surfaces in each possible birational equivalence class. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0859.00020].
