On the rank of Jacobians over function fields.} Let $f:mathcal{X}to C$ be a projective surface fibered over a curve and defined over a number field $k$. We give an interpretation of the rank of the Mordell-Weil group over $k(C)$ of the jacobian of the generic fibre (modulo the constant part) in terms of average of the traces of Frobenius on the fibers of $f$. The results also give a reinterpretation of the Tate conjecture for the surface $mathcal{X}$ and generalizes results of Nagao, Rosen-Silverman and Wazir.
