Improvements of The Weil Bound For Artin-Schreier Curves

Abstract

For Artin-Schreier curve y^q -y = f(x) defined over a finite field F_q of q elements, we show that the Weil bound for the number of the rational points over extension fields of F_q can often be greatly improved, essentially removing an extra factor of size about the square root of q in the error term.

Planar curve singularities having constant intersection multiplicity with a smooth boundary

We study deformations of curve singularities in a smooth surface having a constant local intersection multiplicity $w$ with a smooth boundary curve. In particular, we consider the codimension of the equisingular locus in the semiuniversal deformation space and prove results on the inclusion relations between ideals describing different kinds of deformations. A classification is given of singularities expected to appear in codimension $\leq 3$ in a general family.

Partial Cohomologically Complete Intersections via Hodge Theory

We introduce an invariant $c(X)$ associated to any complex algebraic variety $X$, which for varieties with isolated singularities measures the failure of dual Kodaira-Akizuki-Nakano vanishing. In general, it is characterized by Hodge--Lyubeznik numbers, the depth of Du Bois complexes, and the Hodge filtration on local cohomology modules. We show that this invariant is computable in many examples, such as cones over rational homology manifolds or determinantal varieties.
