| Mar 24, 2018 at 11:28 | comment | added | KConrad | What conjectures of Artin after 1923 led Weil to his conjectures? Weil started towards his conjectures by reading old work of Gauss and Artin studied zeta-functions of curves in his thesis, which came before his work on nonabelian $L$-functions. | |
