Is the weight-monodromy conjecture known for unramified representations?
Let $X$ be a smooth proper variety over a number field $K$, $v$ a place of $K$ lying over a prime number $p \neq \ell$, and $V := H^n(X_{\overline{K}};\mathbb{Q}_{\ell})$. Suppose $V$ is unramified at ...

Meaning of "the" general fiber in the paper "La conjecture de Weil : I"
In section 4.1, chapter 4 of Pierre Deligne's paper La conjecture de Weil : I (french version, translation to English) he states:
Let $X$ be a non singular analytic space and purely of dimension $n+1$....

Direct proof of special case of Hasse's theorem for elliptic curves
Consider the elliptic curve $y^2 = x^3 + x$ over $\mathbb{F}_p$, where $p \equiv 1 \pmod 4$.
If memory serves correctly, the number of points (excluding the point at infinity) is $p - a$ where $a$ is ...

When is "independence of l" known?
My question is for which varieties over local fields is "independence of l" known for
etale cohomology. Say $X/{\mathbb Q}_p$ is a complete non-singular variety and $W_l$ is the (complex) Weil-...

On the Hasse-Weil L-function of $P^n$
So let us start with the "simplest" scheme over $Spec(\mathbf{Z})$ namely $X_0=Spec(\mathbf{Z})$. Then the (reciprocal) Weil zeta function of $X_0$ at a prime $p$ is given by $Z_p(T)=1-T$ (a ...

weight monodromy conjecture for curves?
Hi,
Is there a simple proof of the weight monodromy conjecture in the case of a curve over a mixed characteristic local field?
Thanks!
