2 Motivation

3 Riemann zeta function ζ(s) = s s s s s s = s s s One of the most famous examples of a global zeta function Together with the functional equation ξ(s) := π s/2 Γ(s/2)ζ(s) = ξ(1 s) encodes a lot of the arithmetic information of Z. e.g.: Zeros of ζ(s) precise prime distribution ζ(s) still keeps secret many of its properties 2 / 31 Edgar Costa (Dartmouth College) Computing zeta functions of nondegenerate toric hypersurfaces

81 Some examples

82 Example: random dense K3 surface X P 3 F p given by 9x 4 10x 3 y 9x 2 y 2 + 2xy 3 7y 4 + 6x 3 z + 9x 2 yz 2xy 2 z + 3y 3 z + 8x 2 z 2 + 6y 2 z 2 + 2xz 3 + 7yz 3 + 9z 4 + 8x 3 w + x 2 yw 8xy 2 w 7y 3 w + 9x 2 zw 9xyzw + 3y 2 zw xz 2 w 3yz 2 w + z 3 w x 2 w 2 4xyw 2 3xzw 2 + 8yzw 2 6z 2 w 2 + 4xw 3 + 3yw 3 + 4zw 3 5w 4 = 0 For p = 49999, in 1h5m5s, we obtain ζ X (t) = ((1 t)(1 pt)(1 p 2 t)q(t)) 1 where pq(t/p) =(1 t)(p t t t t t t t t t t t t pt 20 ) 24 / 31 Edgar Costa (Dartmouth College) Computing zeta functions of nondegenerate toric hypersurfaces

83 Example: a quartic surface in the Dwork pencil Consider the surface X in P 3 F p for p = = given by x x x x x 0 x 1 x 2 x 3 = 0. Using the old projective code in 100h30m we compute that ζ X (t) = where the interesting factor 1 (1 t)(1 pt)(1 p 2 t)r 1 (pt) 3 R 2 (pt) 6 S(t) S(t) = (1 + pt)( t + p 2 t 2 ). The polynomials R 1 and R 2 arise from the action of Frobenius on the Picard lattice; by a p-adic formula of de la Ossa Kadir. 25 / 31 Edgar Costa (Dartmouth College) Computing zeta functions of nondegenerate toric hypersurfaces

84 Example: a quartic surface in the Dwork pencil Consider the surface X in P 3 F p for p = = given by x x x x x 0 x 1 x 2 x 3 = 0. Using the toric old projective code in 6m32s 100h30m we compute ζ X (t) = where the interesting factor 1 (1 t)(1 pt)(1 p 2 t)r 1 (pt) 3 R 2 (pt) 6 S(t) S(t) = (1 + pt)( t + p 2 t 2 ). The polytope of X is much smaller than the full simplex (32/ vs 2/3 0.6), as the monomials defining X generate a sublattice of index 4 2 in Z / 31 Edgar Costa (Dartmouth College) Computing zeta functions of nondegenerate toric hypersurfaces

85 Example: a quintic threefold in the Dwork pencil Consider the threefold X in P 4 F p for p = given by x x x 0 x 1 x 2 x 3 x 5 = 0. In 667s, we compute that ζ X (t) = where the interesting factor is R 1 (pt) 20 R 2 (pt) 30 S(t) (1 t)(1 pt)(1 p 2 t)(1 p 3 t) S(t) = T pT p 3 T 3 + p 6 T 4. and R 1 and R 2 are the numerators of the zeta functions of certain curves (given by a formula of Candelas de la Ossa Rodriguez Villegas). Using the old projective code, it would have taken around 37h. 27 / 31 Edgar Costa (Dartmouth College) Computing zeta functions of nondegenerate toric hypersurfaces

86 Example: another family of K3 surfaces Consider now the surface X in the weighted projective space P(8, 5, 4, 3) Fp given by taking the closure of the affine surface yz 5 + xz 4 + y 4 + z 4 + x = 0. For p = 49999, in 120s we compute that where ζ X (t) = 1 (1 t)(1 pt)(1 p 2 t)r(pt)s(t) ps(p 1 t) = p 14662t 31559t t t t 5 + pt 6. This example is from Miles Reid s list of 95 families of nondegenerate toric surfaces which are K3 surfaces. There is no other method that can handle dense surfaces in P(8, 5, 4, 3) in this p range. 28 / 31 Edgar Costa (Dartmouth College) Computing zeta functions of nondegenerate toric hypersurfaces

87 Example: a hypergeometric motive (also a K3 surface) Consider the appropriate completion of the toric surface over F p with p = given by x 3 y + y 4 + z 4 12xyz + 1 = 0. In 61s, we compute that the interesting factor of ζ X (t) is t 42243pt p 2 t p 3 t p 4 t 5 + p 6 t 6. In P 3 this surface is degenerate, and would have taken us one hour to do the same computation with a dense model. 29 / 31 Edgar Costa (Dartmouth College) Computing zeta functions of nondegenerate toric hypersurfaces

88 Example: a hypergeometric motive (also a K3 surface) Consider the appropriate completion of the toric surface over F p with p = given by x 3 y + y 4 + z 4 12xyz + 1 = 0. In 61s, we compute that the interesting factor of ζ X (t) is t 42243pt p 2 t p 3 t p 4 t 5 + p 6 t 6. In P 3 this surface is degenerate, and would have taken us one hour to do the same computation with a dense model. We can confirm the linear term with Magma: C2F2 := HypergeometricData([6,12], [1,1,1,2,3]); EulerFactor(C2F2, 2ˆ10 * 3ˆ6, 49999: Degree:=1); *$.1 + O($.1ˆ2) 29 / 31 Edgar Costa (Dartmouth College) Computing zeta functions of nondegenerate toric hypersurfaces

89 Example: another Calabi Yau threefold Let X be the closure in the weighted projective space P(10, 11, 16, 19, 21) Fp for p = of the affine threefold y 7 + x 2 zw + zyzw + y 2 zw + z 3 w + w 3 + xz + yz = 0. In 401s, we we compute that the interesting factor of ζ X is t pt p 2 t p 4 t p 6 T 5 + p 9 T 6 By analogy with the Reid list, one can classify Calabi Yau threefolds arising as hypersurfaces in weighted projective spaces; there are 7555 such families.

90 Other possible versions Space-time tradeoff We can reduce the time dependence on p to p 0.5+o(1) vol( ) O(n) 31 / 31 Edgar Costa (Dartmouth College) Computing zeta functions of nondegenerate toric hypersurfaces
