Complete arcs arising from a generalization of the Hermitian curve (extended abstract)

Abstract We investigate arcs, in projective planes over finite fields, arising from the set of rational points of a generalization of the Hermitian curve. The degree of the arcs is closely related to the number of rational points of a class of Artin-Schreier curves.
