Idea

The Hasse-Weil zeta function is a zeta function/L-function associated with algebraic varieties over a number field KK.

Specifically on the spectrum Spec(𝒪 K)Spec(\mathcal{O}_K) of the ring of integers of KK it reduces to the Dedekind zeta function of KK.

Properties

Special values

The Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture describes the first non-vanishing derivative of the Hasse-Weil zeta function at the special value s=1s= 1 in analogy with the class number formula.
