unusual facts about Weil conjectures



Grothendieck topology

André Weil's famous Weil conjectures proposed that certain properties of equations with integral coefficients should be understood as geometric properties of the algebraic variety that they define.

Hodge structure

He introduced the notion of a mixed Hodge structure, developed techniques for working with them, gave their construction (based on Hironaka's resolution of singularities) and related them to the weights on l-adic cohomology, proving the last part of the Weil conjectures.
