Title: Weil conjectures - Rationality and Functional Equation
Abstract: In this talk we will assume that certain cohomology theories
exist, and demonstrate how to prove rationality and functional equation of
the zeta function. A large part of the talk will be using tools from
linear
algebra and algebraic topology. We will mostly be following the nice set of
notes available here:
