Define the Ramanujan $\tau$-function from $\mathbb N \rightarrow \mathbb Z$ as the Fourier coefficients of the $\Delta$ function; i.e.,

$$ \sum_{n\geq 1}\tau(n)q^n=q\prod_{n\geq 1}(1-q^n)^{24} .$$

This is a pure number-theoretic function. Now the Ramanujan conjecture says that

$$|\tau(p)| \leq 2p^{11/2} $$

which is also a purely number theoretic statement.

Pierre Deligne proved it as a consequence of the Weil conjectures.
