A functional equation proposed by this mathematician that involves mapping s to “n minus s” follows as a result of Poincaré duality on smooth varieties. This mathematician names the minimal projective unitary representation of the metaplectic group. This mathematician proved that the rational points of [emphasize] any abelian variety over Q form a finitely-generated group, extending Mordell’s theorem. Étale cohomology was developed by Grothendieck to prove a set of (*) conjectures by this mathematician, which included the Riemann hypothesis for varieties over finite fields. This co-leader of the Bourbaki group described a “Rosetta stone” for math in a letter written to his sister while jailed in 1940 for refusing to join the French army. For 10 points, name this mathematician whose namesake conjectures set the research program for modern algebraic geometry. ■END■
