REFERENCES 317 345 Index Xll Preface The history of counting points on curves over finite fields is very ex­ tensive, starting with the work of Gauss in 1801 and continuing with the work of Artin, Schmidt, Hasse and Weil in their study of curves and the related zeta functions Zx(t), where m Zx(t) = exp (2: N t ) m m 2': 1 m with N = #X(F qm). If X is a curve of genus g, Weil's conjectures m state that L(t) Zx(t) = (1 - t)(l - qt) where L(t) = rr~!l (1 - O'.

Recensione

From the reviews:

"This book gives a nice overview of background and recent results on curves over finite fields. ... The main advantage of this book is that it provides a huge bibliography and takes into account even very recent results which are so far only presented at conferences or in preprints. So it serves well to get an update on recent results for the experienced reader and links to the original results for more details." (Tanja Lange, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1072 (23), 2005)
