Abstract
In this note an improvement of the Katz's bound on the number of elements in a finite field with given trace and norm is given. The improve- ment is obtained by reducing the problem to estimating the number of rational points on certain toric Calabi-Yau hypersurface, and then to use detailed co- homological calculations by Rojas-Leon and the second author for such toric hypersurfaces.
