In doing so, we obtain concrete and explicit examples for some results recently used in algorithms to count points on smooth hypersurfaces in P^n. In particular, we extend the monomial-motive correspondence of Kadir and Yui and we give explicit solutions to the p-adic Picard-Fuchs equation associated with monomial deformations of Fermat hypersurfaces. As a by-product we obtain Poincare Duality for the Rigid cohomology of certain singular affine varieties.Some proofs expanded, correction of some minor errorsNumber TheoryHigh Energy Physics - TheoryAlgebraic GeometryThe zeta-function of monomial deformations of Fermat hypersurfacestext
