Purity of Frobenius on cohomology of a projective variety over $\mathbb F_q$ with isolated singularities
Let $X_0$ be a projective variety of dimension $n>0$ over a finite field $\mathbb F_q$ of characteristic $p$. Let $X$ denote its base change to an algebraic closure. Let $\ell$ be a prime number ...

$L$-series and Riemann zeta function
I am currently reading SGA 4$\frac{1}{2}$, exposé 2: Rapport sur la formule des traces.
The $L$-series associated to a scheme $X$ of finite type over $\mathbb{F}_{p}$ is defined as
$$L(X,s):=\prod_{x\...

Generalization of Weil Conjectures
is there a reference in English, besides Deligne's original publication: "La conjecture de Weil: II", not synthetic but complete that deals with the original argument of the generalization ...

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,\...

Computing weights of $\bar{\mathbb{Q}}_l(1)$ from the definition
This seems to be a trivial question, but I am genuinely confused about it.
The notion of weights as in Deligne's Weil II are defined in terms of eigenvalues of automorphisms that Frobenius morphisms ...

Purity of vanishing cycle for proper scheme over DVR with smooth generic fiber
Let $X$ be a scheme proper and flat over a complete discrete valuation ring $O$ with finite residue field $k$, and choose a prime $l$ not equal to characteristic of $k$. Consider the Galois ...

Idea of using etale site
I have just read an article which mentions that, when Grothendieck considered using etale morphism, he did borrow the idea from Riemann that multivalued function on an open subset of complex plane ...

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-...

Hodge numbers of reduction mod $p$
Let $X$ be a projective variety defined over a number field $K$, and $p \in \textrm{Spec }\mathcal{O}_K$ a maximal ideal, so that reduction mod $p$ makes sense, and the resulting scheme (mod $p$) $\...

Equivalent statements of the Riemann hypothesis in the Weil conjectures
In the cohomological incarnation, the Riemann hypothesis part of the Weil conjectures for a smooth proper scheme of finite type over a finite field with $q$ elements says that: the eigenvalues of ...
