"... H. Hasse perceived the connection between complex multiplication and the Riemann hypothesis for congruence zeta functions, which was later proved by A. Weil in a fully general form. This observation led M. Deuring to establish a purely algebraic treatment of complex multiplication of elliptic curves. He could, moreover, along the same line of ideas, determine the zeta functions of elliptic curves with complex multiplication. The definition of zeta function of an algebraic curve defined over an algebraic number field is originally due to Hasse; and Weil is the first contributor to this subject."
