For a projective curve C defined over F_q we study the statistics of the F_q-structure of a section of C by a random hyperplane defined over F_q in the $q\to\infty$ limit. We obtain a very general equidistribution result for this problem. We deduce … Continue reading Colloquium: Tuesday, May 22, 2 pm. Speaker: Alexei Entin (Tel Aviv).
