Abstract

For a variety over a local field, we show that the alternating sum of the traces of the composition of the actions of an element of the Weil group and an algebraic correspondence on the $\ell$-adic etale cohomology is independent of $\ell$. We prove the independence by establishing basic properties of weight spectral sequences.
