We give improvements of the deformation method for computing the zeta function of a generic projective hypersurface in characteristic~$p$ that either reduce the dependence on~$p$ of the time complexity to $\tilde{O}(p^{1/2})$ or that of the…

We identify the $p$-adic unit roots of the zeta function of a projective hypersurface over a finite field of characteristic $p$ as the eigenvalues of a product of special values of a certain matrix of $p$-adic series. That matrix is a…

We present an explicit formula for the determinant on the Metzler matrix of a digraph $D$. Furthermore, we introduce a walk-type zeta function with respect to this Metzler matrix of the symmetric digraph of a finite torus, and express its…

In this manuscript, we give effective methods for computing the zeta function of maximal orders on surfaces.

In this article we review the observation, due originally to Dwork, that the zeta-function of an arithmetic variety, defined originally over the field with p elements, is a superdeterminant. We review this observation in the context of a…

We investigate analytic properties of height zeta functions of toric varieties. Using the height zeta functions, we prove an asymptotic formula for the number of rational points of bounded height with respect to an arbitrary line bundle…

This is an expository paper which gives a quick introduction to Dwork's conjecture about p-adic meromorphic continuation of his unit root zeta function arising from algebraic geometry. Special emphasis is given to the case of elliptic…

In this article we consider surfaces that are general with respect to a 3- dimensional toric idealistic cluster. In particular, this means that blowing up a toric constellation provides an embedded resolution of singularities for these…

In this paper, we give an overview of the various general methods in computing the zeta function of an algebraic variety defined over a finite field, with an emphasis on computing the reduction modulo $p^m$ of the zeta function of a…

(Dieudonn\'e and) Dwork's lemma gives a necessary and sufficient condition for an exponential of a formal power series $S(z)$ with coefficients in $Q_p$ to have coefficients in $Z_p$. We establish theorems on the $p$-adic valuation of the…

For primes $p>3$ we produce a new derivation of the universal $p$-adic sigma function and $p$-adic Weierstrass zeta functions of Mazur and Tate for ordinary elliptic curves by a method that highlights congruences among coefficients in…

Using toric modifications and some compatibility we compute the local $p$-adic zeta function of a plane curve singularity. Thanks to the compatibility, we can work over the analytic change of variables formula for $p$-adic integrals, hence…

The higher rank Lefschetz formula for p-adic groups is used to prove rationality of a several-variable zeta function attached to the action of a p-adic group on its Bruhat-Tits building. By specializing to certain lines one gets…

We survey some recent applications of p-adic cohomology to machine computation of zeta functions of algebraic varieties over finite fields of small characteristic, and suggest some new avenues for further exploration.

The definition for the $p$-adic Hurwitz-type Euler zeta functions has been given by using the fermionic $p$-adic integral on $\mathbb Z_p$. By computing the values of this kind of $p$-adic zeta function at negative integers, we show that it…

We return to some past studies of hyperkloosterman sums ([9,10]) via $p$-adic cohomology with an aim to improve earlier results. In particular, we work here with Dwork's $\theta_\infty$-splitting function and a better choice of basis for…

In this paper we study the zeta functions associated to the minimal spherical principal series of representations for a class of reductive p-adic symmetric spaces, which are realized as open orbits of some prehomogeneous spaces. These…

The Hasse-Witt matrix of a hypersurface in ${\mathbb P}^n$ over a finite field of characteristic $p$ gives essentially complete mod $p$ information about the zeta function of the hypersurface. But if the degree $d$ of the hypersurface is…

We consider families of degenerating hyperbolic surfaces. The surfaces are geometrically finite of fixed topological type. Let Z(s) be the Selberg Zeta function of a surface, and let Z_d(s) be the contribution of the pinched geodesics to…

We develop techniques for computing zeta functions associated with nilpotent groups, not necessarily associative algebras, and modules, as well as Igusa-type zeta functions. At the heart of our method lies an explicit convex-geometric…
