An endomorphism 
of a scheme 
over the finite field 
of 
elements such that 
is the identity mapping on 
, and the mapping of the structure sheaf 
is that of raising to the 
-th power. The Frobenius endomorphism is a purely-inseparable morphism and has zero differential. For an affine variety 
defined over 
, the Frobenius endomorphism 
takes the point 
to 
.
The number of geometric points of 
that are defined over 
is the same as the number of fixed points of 
, which enables one to use the Lefschetz formula to determine the number of such points.
