Cubic Surfaces

Let V be a nonsingular cubic surface defined over the finite field Fq. It is well known that the number of points on V satisfies #V(Fq) = q2 + nq + 1 where −2 ≤ n ≤ 7 and that n = 6 is impossible; see for example [1], Table 1. Serre has asked if these bounds are best possible for each q. In this paper I shall show that this is so, with three exceptions:

Rational Cohomology

Abstract We compute the rational cohomology of the universal family of smooth cubic surfaces using Vassiliev’s method of simplicial resolution. Modulo embedding, the universal family has cohomology isomorphic to that of $\mathbb{P}^2$. A consequence of our theorem is that over the finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$, away from finitely many characteristics, the average number of points on a smooth cubic surface is q2+q + 1.

Del Pezzo

AbstractLet S be a smooth cubic surface over a finite field $\mathbb{F}$q. It is known that #S($\mathbb{F}$q) = 1 + aq + q2 for some a ∈ {−2, −1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7}. Serre has asked which values of a can arise for a given q. Building on special cases treated by Swinnerton–Dyer, we give a complete answer to this question. We also answer the analogous question for other del Pezzo surfaces, and consider the inverse Galois problem for del Pezzo surfaces over finite fields. Finally we give a corrected version of Manin's and Swinnerton–Dyer's tables on cubic surfaces over finite fields.

Introduction. The object of this paper is to obtain an explicit formula for the zeta function of an arbitrary non-singular cubic surface over a finite field. Let k denote the finite field of q elements, and kn the field of qn elements which is the unique algebraic extension of k of degree n. Let be a non-singular variety defined over k, and for each n > 0 let be the number of points defined over kn which lie on . The zeta function of is given byDwork has shown in (3) that for any this is a rational function of q−s; and in particular it follows from the results he proves in (4) that if is a non-singular cubic surface thenand hence alsoHere the numbers w o depend only on q and on .

Adic Valuation

Let $K$ be any finite field. For any prime $p$, the $p$-adic valuation map is given by $\psi_{p}:K/\{0\} \to \R^+\bigcup\{0\}$ is given by $\psi_{p}(r) = n$ where $r = p^n \frac{a}{b}$, where $p,a,b$ are relatively prime. The field $K$ together with a valuation is called valued field. Also, any field $K$ has the trivial valuation determined by $\psi{(K)} = \{0,1\}$. Through out the paper K represents $\Z_q$. In this paper, we construct the graph corresponding to the valuation map called the valued field graph, denoted by $VFG_{p}(\Z_{q})$ whose vertex set is $\{v_0,v_1,v_2,\ldots, v_{q-1}\}$ where two vertices $v_i$ and $v_j$ are adjacent if $\psi_{p}(i) = j$ or $\psi_{p}(j) = i$. Here, we tried to characterize the valued field graph in $\Z_q$. Also we analyse various graph theoretical parameters such as diameter, independence number etc.
