Title: The Weil conjectures

Abstract:  The Weil conjectures is a deep and famous theorem 
(conjectured by Andre Weil and proven after work of others by Pierre 
Deligne) in algebraic geometry, which relates the homology (thus the 
topology) of complex projective algebraic varieties to counting of 
points of algebraic varieties over finite fields.

The aim of this lecture is to give an idea of what the theorem says and 
give some elementary examples.
