Abstract: Following Kraitchik and Lehmer, we say that a positive integer nequiv1pmod8 is an x-pseudosquare if it is a quadratic residue for each odd prime plex, yet is not a square. We extend this defintion to algebraic curves and say that n is an x-pseudopoint of a curve f(u,v)=0 (where ) if for all sufficiently large primes plex the congruence f(n,m)equiv0pmodp is satisfied for some m. We use the Bombieri bound of exponential sums along a curve to estimate the smallest x-pseudopoint, which shows the limitations of the modular approach to searching for points on curves.
