Abstract: Let $mathbb{F}_q$ denote the finite field of $q$ elements with characteristic $p$. Let $mathbb{Z}_q$ denote the unramified extension of the $p$-adic integers $mathbb{Z}_p$ with residue field $mathbb{F}_q$. In this paper, we investigate the $q$-divisibility for the number of solutions of a polynomial system in $n$ variables over the finite Witt ring $mathbb{Z}_q/p^{m}mathbb{Z}_q$, where the $n$ variables of the polynomials are restricted to run through a combinatorial box lifting $mathbb{F}_q^n$. The introduction of the combinatorial box makes the problem much more complicated. We prove a $q$-divisibility theorem for any box of low algebraic complexity, including the simplest Teichm"uller box.This extends the classical Ax-Katz theorem over finite field $mathbb{F}_q$ (the case $m=1$). Taking $q=p$ to be a prime, our result extends and improves a recent combinatorial theorem of Grynkiewicz. Our different approach is based on the addition operation of Witt vectors and is conceptually much more transparent.
