Abstract

Given a system of polynomial equations with integer coefficients one can compute the number N_n of solutions to the system in a finite field of p^n elements, for some fixed prime number p. One of the Weil conjectures asserts that the exponential of the generating series for the sequence N_1/1, N_2/2, ... is rational. That is the numbers N_n satisfy a certain recurrence relation. The course will discuss basic ideas in the proof of the Weil conjectures due Grothendieck and Deligne. Prerequisites: basic algebraic geometry (first 3 chapters of Hartshorne's book.)
