We study the distribution of the number of points and of the zeroes of the zeta function in different p-rank strata of Artin-Schreier covers over Fq when q is fixed and the genus goes to infinity. The p-rank strata considered include the ordinary family, the whole family, and the family of covers with p-rank equal to p − 1. While the zeta zeroes always approach the standard Gaussian distribution, the number of points over Fq has a distribution that varies with the specific family.

### Statistics for p-ranks of Artin-Schreier covers

Given a prime p and q a power of p, we study the statistics of p-ranks of Artin-Schreier covers of given genus defined over Fq, in the large q-limit. We refer to this problem as the geometric

### Local Statistics for Zeros of Artin-Schreier L-functions

We study the local statistics of zeros of L-functions attached to Artin-Scheier curves over finite fields. We consider three families of Artin-Schreier L-functions: the ordinary, polynomial (the

We study a mass formula for Artin–Schreier curves of genus g defined over a finite field k of characteristic p. For an odd prime p and for small g, we determine the number of k-isomorphism classes of

The lectures will be concerned with statistics for the zeroes of L-functions in natural families. This will include discussions of the number field and the function field case (the latter case being

### A heuristic for the distribution of point counts for random curves over a finite field

A heuristic is proposed for how many rational points are there on a random algebraic curve of large genus g over a given finite field that suggests a Poisson distribution with mean q+1+1/(q−1).
