Local zeta function

In number theory, the local zeta function Z(V, s) (sometimes called the congruent zeta function) is defined as where Nm is the number of points of V defined over the finite field extension Fqm of Fq, and V is a non-singular n-dimensional projective algebraic variety over the field Fq with q elements. Making the variable transformation u = q−s, gives as the formal power series in the variable . Equivalently, the local zeta function is sometimes defined as follows:
