Emil Artin defined a zeta function for algebraic curves over finite fields and made a conjecture about them analogous to the famous Riemann hypothesis. This and other conjectures about these zeta functions would come to be called the Weil…
The Riemann hypothesis is, and will hopefully remain for a long time, a great motivation to uncover and explore new parts of the mathematical world. After reviewing its impact on the development of algebraic geometry we discuss three…
In 1952 Peter Roquette gave an arithmetic proof of the Riemann hypothesis for algebraic function fields of a finite constants field, which was proved by Andr\'e Weil in 1940. The construction of Weil's scalar product is essential in…
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…
This paper explores analogies between the Weil proof of the Riemann hypothesis for function fields and the geometry of the adeles class space, which is the noncommutative space underlying Connes' spectral realization of the zeros of the…
Underlying the Riemann Hypothesis there is a question whose full answer still eludes us: what do the zeros of the Riemann zeta function really mean? As a step toward answering this, Andr\'e Weil proposed a series of conjectures that include…
We give yet another proof of the Riemann hypothesis for smooth projective varieties over a finite field (Deligne's theorem), by reducing to the hypersurface case. The latter was established by N. Katz via an elementary argument. A reduction…
We introduce a cohomology theory for a class of projective varieties over a finite field coming from the canonical trace on a C*-algebra attached to the variety. Using the cohomology, we prove the rationality, functional equation and the…
Je retracerai l'histoire des conjectures de Weil sur le nombre de solutions d'\'equations polynomiales dans un corps fini et quelques unes des approches qui ont \'et\'e propos\'ees pour les r\'esoudre. The Weil conjectures: origins,…
One of the driving motivations to develop $\F_1$-geometry is the hope to translate Weil's proof of the Riemann hypothesis from positive characteristics to number fields, which might result in a proof of the classical Riemann hypothesis. The…
We give a reformulation of the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture over global function fields in terms of Weil-etale cohomology of the curve with coefficients in the Neron model, and show that it holds under the assumption of finiteness…
We study Weil-etale cohomology, introduced by Lichtenbaum for varieties over finite fields. In the first half of the paper we give an explicit description of the base change from Weil-etale cohomology to etale cohomology. As a consequence,…
A short proof of the generalized Riemann hypothesis (gRH in short) for zeta functions $\zeta_{k}$ of algebraic number fields $k$ - based on the Hecke's proof of the functional equation for $\zeta_{k}$ and the method of the proof of the…
In this article, following an insight of Kontsevich, we extend the famous Weil conjecture (as well as the strong form of the Tate conjecture) from the realm of algebraic geometry to the broad noncommutative setting of dg categories. As a…
The classical construction of the Weil representation, with complex coefficients, has long been expected to work for more general coefficient rings. This paper exhibits the minimal ring $\mathcal{A}$ for which this is possible, the integral…
I attempted to write the full translation of this article to make the remarkable proof of Pierre Deligne available to a greater number of people. Overviews of the proofs can be found elsewhere. I especially recommend the notes of James…
These notes were written from a series of lectures given in March 2010 at the Universidad Complutense of Madrid and then in Barcelona for the centennial anniversary of the Spanish Mathematical Society (RSME). Our aim is to give an…
We propose analogs of the classical Generalized Riemann Hypothesis and the Generalized Simplicity Conjecture for the characteristic p L-series associated to function fields over a finite field. These analogs are based on the use of absolute…
Beginning from the resolution of Dirichlet L function, using the inner product formula of infinite-dimensional vectors in the complex space, the author proved the world's baffling problem--Generalized Riemann hypothesis.
We calculate the total derived functor for the map from the Weil-etale site introduced by Lichtenbaum to the etale site for varieties over finite fields. In particular, there is a long exact sequence relating Weil-etale cohomology and etale…
