Meromorphic continuation for the zeta function of a Dwork hypersurface

Thomas Barnet-Lamb

Vol. 4 (2010), No. 7, 839–854

Abstract

We consider the one-parameter family of hypersurfaces in $ℙ^{5}$ over $ℚ$ with projective equation $(X_{1}^{5} + X_{2}^{5} + X_{3}^{5} + X_{4}^{5} + X_{5}^{5}) = 5 t X_{1} X_{2} \dots X_{5}$ , proving that the Galois representations attached to their cohomologies are potentially automorphic, and hence that the zeta function of the family has meromorphic continuation to the whole complex plane.
