Descrizione del libro

This book is concerned with the arithmetic of diagonal hypersurfaces over finite fields, with special emphasis on the Tate conjecture and the Lichtenbaum–Milne formula for the central value of the L-function. It combines theoretical and numerical work, and includes tables of Picard numbers. Although this book is aimed at experts, the authors have included some background material to help non-specialists gain access to the results.
