Non-archimedean equidistribution and L-polynomials of curves over finite fields

Let q be a prime power and let C be a smooth curve defined over F_q. The number of points of C over the finite extensions of F_q are determined by the Zeta function of C, which can be written in the form P_C(t)/((1-t)(1-qt)), where P_C(t) is a polynomial of degree 2g and g is the genus of C; this is often called the L-polynomial of C. We use a Chebotarev-like statement (over function fields instead of Z) due to Katz in order to study the distribution, as C varies, of the coefficients of P_C(t) in a non-archimedean setting.
