Abstract

We study the connection between the singularities of a finite type $ℤ$ -scheme $X$ and the asymptotic point count of $X$ over various finite rings. In particular, if the generic fiber $X_{ℚ} = X \times_{Spec ℤ} Spec ℚ$ is a local complete intersection, we show that the boundedness of $| X (ℤ ∕ p^{n} ℤ) | ∕ p^{n dim X_{ℚ}}$ in $p$ and $n$ is in fact equivalent to the condition that $X_{ℚ}$ is reduced and has rational singularities. This paper completes a recent result of Aizenbud and Avni.
