- by the way, the main person alleging that the zeta function of a scheme of finite type over ℤ is not me but Serre. I got this claim out of his 1963 paper "Zeta and L-functions" - see below. You can't see it below, but that's on the second page of his paper, and on the first he says "all schemes considered below are supposed to be of finite type over ℤ". No extra assumptions are given.

Could he be *implicitly* assuming schemes are not too large? I was wondering about this - I'm glad brought it up.
