In this thesis, we consider the proof of an analogue of the Riemann hypothesis for a function field F of one variable with a finite constant field K. The classical Riemann Hypothesis ( which is still unproven ) says that -besides the trivial zeros s = -2 ,-4 ,-6,...- all zeros of the Riemann-zeta function z(s) lie on the line Re(s)=1/2. In the function field case it was proved that the zeros of the function z F / K (s) lie on the line Re(s)=1/2. Our aim in this thesis is to give the proof of this result, known as the Hasse-Weil Theorem, following the proof given by Bombieri.F / K Key words: Function Fields, Zeta Function, Riemann Hypothesis |
