On a Family of Twisted Trace Curves over Finite Fields, and Fibonacci Numbers
Abstract
We present some results about the number of rational points on a certain family of curves defined over a finite field. In a small number of cases the curves have more rational points than expected. Fibonacci numbers make an appearance, as do cyclotomic polynomials.
