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 ...

Could the Weil zeroes of curves be evenly distributed?
If $X$ is a smooth, geometrically connected, projective curve of genus $g$
over $\mathbb{F}_q$, then the zeta function of $X$ is of the form $P(s)/(1 - s)(1 - qs)$, where $P(s)$ is a polynomial of ...

Why geometric generic point (in abstract algebraic geometry) replace general points in the unit disk?
In section 4.1, chapter 4 of Pierre Deligne's paper La conjecture de Weil : I (french version, translation to English) he states:
On $\mathbb{C}$ Lefshietz local results are as follows. Let $X$ be a ...

Effective weight-monodromy conjecture
$\DeclareMathOperator\Gr{Gr}$Let $G$ be the absolute Galois group of a finite extension of $\mathbb{Q}_p$ with inertia subgroup $I$, and let $V$ be an $\ell$-adic representation of $G$. Grothendieck's ...

Which $p$-adic valuations of Weil numbers (that is, eigenvalues of Frobenius) are possible?
Let $C$ be a smooth projective curve over a finite field $\mathbb F_q$, $q$ is a power of the characteristic $p$. It is well-known that if $\alpha$ is an eigenvalue of Frobenius acting on $H^1_{et}(C,\...

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 ...

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 ...
