Hypersurfaces and the Weil conjectures

Algebraic Geometry 2010-06-01 v3 Number Theory

Abstract

We give a proof that the Riemann hypothesis for hypersurfaces over finite fields implies the result for all smooth proper varieties, by a deformation argument which does not use the theory of Lefschetz pencils or the l-adic Fourier transform.
