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 $n+1$....

Relatively concise English expositions of the proofs of the various Weil conjectures
Where can I find relatively concise (i.e. not excessively wordy and waxing poetic about history and intuitions and such, doesn't spend an eternity carefully developing various parts of the theory of ...

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 ...

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 ...
