Abstract
Let p be a large prime, â⩾2 be a positive integer, m⩾2 be an integer relatively prime to â and P(x)âFp[x] be a polynomial which is not a complete ââ²-th power for any ââ² for which GCD(ââ²,â)=1. Let C be the curve defined by the equation yâ=P(x), and take the points on C to lie in the rectangle [0,pâ1]2. In this paper, we study the distribution of the number of points on C inside small rectangles among residue classes modulo m when we move the rectangle around in [0,pâ1]2.
