This chapter provides an introduction to the subject, precise statements of the main results, and places these in a somewhat wider context. Topics discussed include statement of the main results, Schoof's algorithm, Schoof's algorithm described in terms of ètale cohomology, other cases where ètale cohomology can be used to construct polynomial time algorithms for counting rational points of varieties over finite fields, congruences for Ramanujan's tau-function, and comparison with p-adic methods.

The purpose of this article is to construct families of elliptic curves E over finite fields F so that the groups of F-rational points of E are cyclic, by using a representation of the modular invariant function by a generator of a modular function field associated with the modular group Γ0(N), where N = 5, 7 or 13.

Abstract Let 𝓧 be the nonsingular model of a plane curve of type yn = f(x) over the finite field F of order q2, where f(x) is a separable polynomial of degree coprime to n. If the number of F-rational points of 𝓧 attains the Hasse–Weil bound, then the condition that n divides q+1 is equivalent to the solubility of f(x) in F; see [20]. In this paper, we investigate this condition for f(x) = xℓ(xm+1).
