Take a finite field $mathbb{F}_{!q}$ such that $q equiv 1 pmod 3$, i.e., $omega mathrel{:=} sqrt[3]{1} in mathbb{F}_{!q}$, $omega neq 1$. Also, for $i in {0,1,2}$ consider the elliptic curves $E_i!: y^2_i = b^ix_i^3 – b$, where $b in mathbb{F}_{!q}^* setminus (mathbb{F}_{!q}^*)^3$. There is on $E_i$ the order $3$ automorphism $[omega]!: (x_i,y_i) mapsto (omega x_i, y_i)$.
Look at the quotient $T mathrel{:=} (E_0 !times! E_1 !times! E_2)/[omega]^{times 3}$, which is a Calabi–Yau threefold according to Oguiso and Truong – Explicit examples of rational and Calabi–Yau threefolds with primitive automorphisms of positive entropy. It is easily seen that it has the affine model
$$
T!: begin{cases}
y_1^2 + b = b(y_0^2 + b)t_1^3, \
y_2^2 + b = b^2(y_0^2 + b)t_2^3
end{cases} quad subset quad mathbb{A}^{!5}_{(y_0,y_1,y_2,t_1,t_2)},
$$
where $t_1 mathrel{:=} x_1/x_0$, $t_2 mathrel{:=} x_2/x_0$.
Although $T$ is a quite classical quotient, I cannot find a rational $mathbb{F}_{!q}$-curve on it. In my opinion, this is a sufficiently interesting algebraic geometry task. Can you help me please? I can explain the origin of this task if it is necessary.
Further intersecting $T$, which is $3$-dimensional in its affine model inside $Bbb A^5$, with a generic variety of codimension two should lead to a curve. (It may be that i do not catch the point of the question. So i am inserting also an example.)
For instance, after multiplying the equations of $E_0, E_1,E_2$ by $1,b^2,b^4$ we obtain isomorphic curves given by $$ begin{aligned} Y_0^2 + b^1&= X_0^3 ,\ Y_1^2 + b^3&= X_1^3 ,\ Y_2^2 + b^5&= X_2^3 . end{aligned} $$ Each change of coordinates is linear, so the action of $[omega]$ translates also as a multiplication with $omega$ on the $X_i$-components, $i$ being $0,1,2$. Then the model of the cartesian product of the three curves modulo $$ (X_0,X_1,X_2,Y_0,Y_1,Y_2)sim (omega X_0,omega X_1,omega X_2,Y_0,Y_1,Y_2) $$ is in a similar manner given by the equations: $$ begin{aligned} frac{Y_1^2-b^3}{Y_0^2-b} & = left(frac {X_1}{X_0}right)^3=: u_1^3 ,\ frac{Y_2^2-b^5}{Y_0^2-b} & = left(frac {X_2}{X_0}right)^3=: u_2^3 . end{aligned} $$ (Omit the $X$-occurrences and consider the equations in $Bbb A^5_{(u_1,u_2;Y_0,Y_1,Y_2)}$.)
Now we can intersect with the codimension two variety given (in an affine model) by $$ Y_1=Y_0^3 , Y_2=Y_0^5 .$$ We obtain a curve (of higher degree) parametrized by $Y_0$ as follows: $$ left{ begin{aligned} Y_1 &= Y_0^3 ,\ Y_2 &= Y_0^5 ,\ u_1^3 &= Y_0^4 + bY_0^2+b^2 ,\ u_2^5 &= Y_0^8 + bY_0^6 + b^2Y_0^4 + b^3Y_0 + b^4 . end{aligned} right. $$ (Depending on the direction of research this may be useful or not.)
