ON THE NUMBER OF POINTS OF SOME VARIETIES OVER FINITE FIELDS
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 May 2003
Abstract
It is proved that the number of ${\bb F}_q$-rational points of an irreducible projective smooth 3-dimensional geometrically unirational variety defined over the finite field ${\bb F}_q$ with $q$ elements is congruent to 1 modulo $q$. Some Fermat 3-folds, some classes of rationally connected 3-folds and some weighted projective $d$-folds also having this property are given.
