Robert Langlands commented in a letter to Deligne that perhaps some of the deepest problems of algebraic geometry lie in L-functions. I want to understand the general philosophy and the connection between L-functions and algebraic geometry beyond the well-know Weil conjectures.

I want to understand the general philosophy and the connection between L-functions and algebraic geometry beyond the well-know Weil conjectures. L-functions encode something about counting points on varieties in weil conjectures. What similiar things are done by the other kinds ie. a general motivic L-function
