Let $X = Y \times_{\mathbb{F}_q} C$, with $Y, C / \mathbb{F}_q$ smooth projective varieties, $C$ a curve. Let $d = \dim_{\mathbb{F}_q} X$. We can consider the local zeta function $Z(X, t) = \prod\limits_{i = 0}^{2d} \det(1 - t \operatorname{Frob}_q | H^i(X_{\overline{F}_q}, \mathbb{Q}_\ell))^{(-1...
