Zeta functions of nondegenerate hypersurfaces in toric varieties via controlled reduction in $p$-adic cohomology

Edgar Costa, David Harvey and Kiran S. Kedlaya

Vol. 2 (2019), No. 1, 221–238
Abstract

We give an interim report on some improvements and generalizations of the Abbott–Kedlaya–Roe method to compute the zeta function of a nondegenerate ample hypersurface in a projectively normal toric variety over Fp in linear time in p. These are illustrated with a number of examples including K3 surfaces, Calabi–Yau threefolds, and a cubic fourfold. The latter example is a nonspecial cubic fourfold appearing in the Ranestad–Voisin coplanar divisor on moduli space; this verifies that the coplanar divisor is not a Noether–Lefschetz divisor in the sense of Hassett.
