Dec 2, 2009 at 20:42 comment added Ben Webster By the way, I think that BBD is a terrible reference for this stuff. Milne's Etale Cohomology is much more accessible, and in English, and actually about this stuff. (BBD sends the reader back to SGA and Theorie de Weil a lot).
Dec 2, 2009 at 20:41 comment added Ben Webster Scott- I would say the genus is determined by the cohomology. Can you reconstruct the genus just knowing the number of points (actually you probably can...is the Hasse bound sharp if you look at large enough finite fields of a given characteristic?)

Dec 1, 2009 at 5:25 comment added S. Carnahan Standard example: The number of rational points on a curve is governed by the Hasse-Weil bound, which depends only on the genus and size of the base field. One could conceivably argue that the genus is governed by the complex topology, but I don't see a good reason to direct a causal arrow in any particular direction. Standard reference for the analogy: some chapter in BBD, Faisceaux Pervers, Asterisque 100.
