The number of points on a curve, and applications Arcs and curves: the legacy of Beniamino Segre

Rendiconti di Matematica e delle sue Applicazioni. Serie VII
Curves defined over a finite field have various applications, such as (a) the construction of good error-correcting codes, (b) the correspondence with arcs in a finite Desarguesian plane, (c) the Main Conjecture for maximum-distance-separable (MDS) codes. Bounds for the number of points of such a curve imply results in these cases. For plane curves, there is a variety of bounds that can be considered, such as the Hasse–Weil bound (1934/1948), the St¨ohr–Voloch bound (1986), as well as bounds
