The curve \\(C\\) may be reducible but with no \\(k\\)-linear components. Let \\(N_q(C)\\) denote the number of \\(k\\)-rational points of \\(C\\). \\textit{P. Sziklai} [Finite Fields Appl. 14, No. 1, 41--43 (2008; Zbl 1185.14017)] conjectured that \\(N_q(C)\\leq (d-1)q+1\\, (*)\\) except for the curve over \\({\\mathbb F}_4\\) \\(X^4+Y^4+Z^4+X^2Y^2+Y^2Z^2+Z^2X^2+X^2YZ+XY^2Z+XYZ^2=0\\) which has 14 \\(F_4\\)-rational points. This conjecture was proved by \\textit{M. Homma} and \\textit{S. J. Kim} [Finite Fields Appl. 16, No. 5, 315--319 (2010; Zbl 1196.14030)]. In the paper under review the authors are interested in those curves of degree \\(d=q\\) attaining equality in \\((*)\\). In fact this problem has already been considered by the authors for \\(d=q+1\\) [Finite Fields Appl. 17, No. 3, 240--253 (2011; Zbl 1215.14033)] and \\(d\\geq q+2\\) [``Nonsingular plane filling curves of minimum degree over a finite field and their automorphism groups: Supplements to a work of Tallini'', \\url{arXiv:0903.1918}]. There is just one curve, up to projective equivalence, of degree \\(q\\) namely \\(X^{q}-XZ^{q-1}+X^{q-1}Y-Y^q=0\\) whose number of \\({\\mathbb F}_q\\)-rational points equals \\((q-1)q+1\\).","citation":[{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q4336964"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q4370894"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q841239"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q3062278"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q708431"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q539898"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q1095209"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q2469467"}]},"provenance":{"prov:generatedAtTime":"2026-01-18T08:39:22Z","prov:wasAttributedTo":"MaRDI Knowledge Graph"}}
