We study the singularities (blow-ups) of the Toda lattice associated with a real split semisimple Lie algebra $\mathfrak g$. It turns out that the total number of blow-up points along trajectories of the Toda lattice is given by the number of points of a Chevalley group $K({\mathbb F}_q)$ related to the maximal compact subgroup $K$ of the group $\check G$ with $\check{\mathfrak g}={\rm Lie}(\check G)$ over the finite field ${\mathbb F}_q$. Here $\check{\mathfrak g}$ is the Langlands dual of ${\mathfrak g}$. The blow-ups of the Toda lattice are given by the zero set of the $\tau$-functions. For example, the blow-ups of the Toda lattice of A-type are determined by the zeros of the Schur polynomials associated with rectangular Young diagrams. Those Schur polynomials are the $\tau$-functions for the nilpotent Toda lattices. Then we conjecture that the number of blow-ups is also given by the number of real roots of those Schur polynomials for a specific variable. We also discuss the case of periodic Toda lattice in connection with the real cohomology of the flag manifold associated to an affine Kac-Moody algebra.
