Zeta and $L$-functions of Voevodsky motives
[ Abstract ]
We associate an $L$-function $L^{\text{near}}(M,s)$ to any geometric motive over a global field $K$ in the sense of Voevodsky. This is a Dirichlet series which converges in some half-plane and has an Euler product factorisation. When $M$ is the dual of $M(X)$ for $X$ a smooth projective variety, $L^{\text{near}}(M,s)$ differs from the alternating product of the zeta functions defined by Serre in 1969 only at places of bad reduction; in exchange, it is multiplicative with respect to exact triangles. If $K$ is a function field over $\mathbb{F}_q$, $L^{\text{near}}(M,s)$ is a rational function in $q^{-s}$ and enjoys a functional equation. The techniques use the full force of Ayoub's six (and even seven) operations.
