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…
We present various improvements to the deformation method for computing the zeta function of smooth projective hypersurfaces over finite fields using $p$-adic cohomology. This includes new bounds for the $p$-adic and $t$-adic precisions…
This is a survey of some recent developments concerning the p-adic cohomology of algebraic varieties over fields of positive characteristic and local fields of mixed characteristic, plus some related areas like p-adic Hodge theory.
We present new algorithms for computing zeta functions of algebraic varieties over finite fields. In particular, let X be an arithmetic scheme (scheme of finite type over Z), and for a prime p let zeta_{X_p}(s) be the local factor of its…
In this article, we introduce a systematic new method to investigate the conjectural p-adic meromorphic continuation of Professor Bernard Dwork's unit root zeta function attached to an ordinary family of algebraic varieties defined over a…
The paper reviews Dwork's p-adic analytic methods used in the Weil Conjectures. The first two chapters review a version of his proof of the rationality conjecture. The rest of the paper is devoted to Dwork's original cohomological methods,…
Using the cohomology theory of Dwork, as developed by Adolphson and Sperber, we exhibit a deterministic algorithm to compute the zeta function of a nondegenerate hypersurface defined over a finite field. This algorithm is particularly…
In this note we study the cotypes of subrings of ${\mathbb Z}[t]/(t^3)$ using $p$-adic integration.
The p-cohomology of an algebraic variety in characteristic p lies naturally in the category $D_{c}^{b}(R)$ of coherent complexes of graded modules over the Raynaud ring (Ekedahl-Illusie-Raynaud). We study homological algebra in this…
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…
The spectral zeta functions have been found many application in several branches of modern physics, including the quantum field theory, the string theory and the cosmology. In this paper, we shall consider the spectral zeta functions and…
Partial zeta functions of algebraic varieties over finite fields generalize the classical zeta function by allowing each variable to be defined over a possibly different extension field of a fixed finite field. Due to this extra variation…
The aim of this article is to illustrate, on the example of Dwork hypersurfaces, how the study of the representation of a finite group of automorphisms of a hypersurface in its etale cohomology allows to factor its zeta function.
We present a method for computing the zeta function of a smooth projective variety over a finite field which proceeds by induction on the dimension. We have implemented our approach for some surfaces using the Magma programming language,…
We study the asymptotics of fundamental solutions of p-adic pseudo-differential equations connected with homogeneous polynomials by using techniques of local zeta functions theory.
We give an explicit formula for the subalgebra zeta function of a general 3-dimensional Lie algebra over the p-adic integers $\mathbb{Z}_p$. To this end, we associate to such a Lie algebra a ternary quadratic form over $\mathbb{Z}_p$. The…
We present a deterministic polynomial time algorithm for computing the zeta function of an arbitrary variety of fixed dimension over a finite field of small characteristic. One consequence of this result is an efficient method for computing…
We introduce a new algorithm to compute the zeta function of a curve over a finite field. This method extends previous work of ours to all curves for which a good lift to characteristic zero is known. We develop all the necessary bounds,…
Inspired by work surrounding Igusa's local zeta function, we introduce topological representation zeta functions of unipotent algebraic groups over number fields. These group-theoretic invariants capture common features of established…
The enumeration of points on (or off) the union of some linear or affine subspaces over a finite field is dealt with in combinatorics via the characteristic polynomial and in algebraic geometry via the zeta function. We discuss the basic…
