This paper studies the -series of -crystals on schemes over finite fields. The author first derives various compatibilities for cycle classes in the crystalline cohomology of a locally free -module, defined using either Poincaré duality or the Gysin map, and applies the compatibilities to prove a Lefschetz trace formula, thereby generalizing results of \n P. Berthelot\en [Cohomologie cristalline des schemas de caracteristique , Lecture Notes in Math., 407, Springer, Berlin, 1974; MR0384804 (52 #5676)]. This then enables him to prove, in the usual way, that the -series of a locally free -crystal on a scheme proper and smooth over a finite field is a rational function with coefficients in the Witt vectors of . In particular, the function is meromorphic, which proves a conjecture of \n N. M. Katz\en [in Seminaire Bourbaki, 24`eme annee (1971/1972), Exp. No. 409, 167200, Lecture Notes in Math., 317, Springer, Berlin, 1973; MR0498577 (58 #16672)] in this context.
When the -crystal is a unit-root crystal, the author gives an interpretation of the zeros and poles of the -function of the form , a -adic unit, in terms of the -adic étale sheaves . For , this again proves a conjecture of Katz in this context.
The last part of the paper is concerned with extending the reviewer’s results [Amer. J. Math. 108 (1986), no. 2, 297360; MR0833360 (87g:14019)] on the behaviour of the zeta function of near integers to the -series of a unit-root -crystal on . Under certain standard assumptions, it is shown that L(X,E,t)\sim\break c_0·\chi(X,\bold Z_p(E,r))·q^{\chi(X,E,r)}·(1-q^rt)^{-\rho_r}
as , where is a -adic unit, is a certain Euler-Poincaré characteristic involving a regulator term, and is defined in terms of the sheaves , where is the -module associated with .

arXiv:1205.1597 Torsion in the crystalline cohomology of singular varieties from arXiv Front: math.AG by Bhargav Bhatt This note discusses some examples showing that the crystalline cohomology of even very mildly singular projective varieties tends to be quite large. In particular, any singular projective variety with at worst ordinary double points has infinitely generated crystalline cohomology in at least two cohomological degrees. These calculations rely critically on comparisons between crystalline and derived de Rham cohomology.
