On two upper bounds for hypersurfaces involving a Thas' invariant (1802.01210v1)

Abstract: Let $X^n$ be a hypersurface in $\mathbb{P}^{n+1}$ with $n\geq 1$ defined over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ of $q$ elements. In this note, we classify, up to projective equivalence, hypersurfaces $X^n$ as above which reach two elementary upper bounds for the number of $\mathbb{F}_q$-points on $X^n$ which involve a Thas' invariant.
