Abstract

Let X be an algebraic variety over a finite field 𝔽q, homogeneous under a linear algebraic group. We show that there exists an integer N such that for any positive integer n in a fixed residue class mod N, the number of rational points of X over 𝔽qn is a polynomial function of qn with integer coefficients. Moreover, the shifted polynomials, where qn is formally replaced with qn + 1, have non-negative coefficients.
