Let f(x) denote a polynomial of degree d defined over a finite field k with q = pnelements. B. J. Birch and H. P. F. Swinnerton-Dyer [1] have estimated the number N(f) of distinct values of y in k for which at least one of the roots ofis in k. They prove, using A. Weil's deep results [12] (that is, results depending on the Riemann hypothesis for algebraic function fields over a finite field) on the number of points on a finite number of curves, thatwhere λ is a certain constant and the constant implied by the O-symbol depends only on d. In fact, if G(f) denotes the Galois group of the equation (1.1) over k(y) and G+(f) its Galois group over k+(y), where k+ is the algebraic closure of k, then it is shown that λ depends only on G(f), G+(f) and d. It is pointed out that “in general”

Let K be an algebraic function field over a finite field of constants of characteristic greater than 2. Let W be a set of non-archimedean primes of K, let [Formula: see text]. Then for any finite set S of primes of K there exists an infinite set W of primes of K containing S, with the property that OK,S has a Diophantine definition over OK,W.
