Abstract

A planar surface is a surface in three-space in which every tangent line has triple or higher contact with the surface at the point of tangency. We study properties of planar surfaces in positive characteristics, use that to bound the number of points of a planar surface over a finite field and give an application to Waring’s problem for polynomials.
