Summary

This chapter is dedicated to the Weil conjectures. They are all proven, except the hardest of them: the “Riemann hypothesis”. An overview of Dwork’s p-adic proof of the rationality of zeta functions of varieties over a finite field is given (obtained before the development of Grothendieck’s cohomological methods!).
