Improved explicit estimates on the number of solutions of equations over a finite field

We show explicit estimates on the number of q-ratinoal points of an Fq-definable affine absolutely irreducible variety of F̄qn. Our estimates for a hypersurface significantly improve previous estimates of W. Schmidt and M.-D. Huang and Y.-C. Wong, while in the case of a variety our estimates improve...

Sumario:We show explicit estimates on the number of q-ratinoal points of an Fq-definable affine absolutely irreducible variety of F̄qn. Our estimates for a hypersurface significantly improve previous estimates of W. Schmidt and M.-D. Huang and Y.-C. Wong, while in the case of a variety our estimates improve those of S. Ghorpade and G. Lachaud in several important cases. Our proofs rely on elementary methods of effective elimination theory and suitable effective versions of the first Bertini theorem. © 2005 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
