As a first application we prove a stronger version of a result of Chavdarov on the ``generic'' irreducibility of the numerator of the zeta functions in a family of curves with large monodromy.30 pagesNumber TheoryAlgebraic Geometry11N35, 11G25, 14G15; 14D10, 11C08The large sieve, monodromy and zeta functions of curvestext
