Abstract: Let $Vsubsetmathbb{P}^n(overline{F}_{hskip-0.7mmq})$ be a complete intersection defined over a finite field $F_{hskip-0.7mmq}$ of dimension $r$ and singular locus of dimension at most $0lesler-2$. We obtain an explicit version of the Hooley--Katz estimate $||V(F_{hskip-0.7mmq})|-p_r|=mathcalO(q^{(r+s+1)/2})$, where $|V(F_{hskip-0.7mmq})|$ denotes the number of $F_{hskip-0.7mmq}$-rational points of $V$ and $p_r:=|mathbb{P}^r(F_{hskip-0.7mmq})|$. Our estimate improves all the previous estimates in several important cases. Our approach relies on tools of classical algebraic geometry. A crucial ingredient is a new effective version of the Bertini smoothness theorem, namely an explicit upper bound of the degree of a proper Zariski closed subset of $(mathbb{P}^n{)}^{s+1}(overline{F}_{hskip-0.7mmq})$ which contains all the singular linear sections of $V$ of codimension $s+1$.
