Given a projective variety X defined over a finite field, the zeta function of divisors attempts to count all irreducible, codimension one subvarieties of X, each measured by their projective degree. When the dimension of X is greater than one, this is a purely p-adic function, convergent on the open unit disk. Four conjectures are expected to hold, the first of which is p-adic meromorphic continuation to all of C_p. When the divisor class group (divisors modulo linear equivalence) of X has rank one, then all four conjectures are known to be true. In this paper, we discuss the higher rank case. In particular, we prove a p-adic meromorphic continuation theorem which applies to a large class of varieties. Examples of such varieties are projective nonsingular surfaces defined over a finite field (whose effective monoid is finitely generated) and all projective toric varieties (smooth or singular).
