Hypersurfaces achieving the Homma-Kim bound

Abstract

Let $X$ be a hypersurface in $\mathbb{P}^N$ with $N\geq 3$ defined over a finite field. The main result of this note is the classification, up to projective equivalence, of hypersurfaces $X$ as above without a linear component when the number of their rational points achieves the Homma-Kim bound.
