This paper explores analogies between the Weil proof of the Riemann hypothesis for function fields and the geometry of the adèles class space, which is the noncommutative space underlying Connes’ spectral realization of the zeros of the Riemann zeta function. We consider the cyclic homology of the cokernel (in the abelian category of cyclic modules) of the “restriction map” defined by the inclu- sion of the idèles class group of a global field in the noncommutative adèles class space. Weil’s explicit formula can then be formulated as a Lefschetz trace formula for the induced action of the idèles class group on this cohomology. In this formu- lation the Riemann hypothesis becomes equivalent to the positivity of the relevant trace pairing. This result suggests a possible dictionary between the steps in the Weil proof and corresponding notions involving the noncommutative geometry of the adèles class space, with good working notions of correspondences, degree, and codegree etc.

    PICARD GROUPS FOR TROPICAL TORIC SCHEMES JAIUNG JUN1, KALINA MINCHEVA2, AND JEFFREY TOLLIVER3 ABSTRACT. From any monoid scheme X (also known as an F1-scheme) one can pass to a semiring scheme (a generalization of a tropical scheme) XS by scalar extension to an idempotent semifield S. We prove that for a given irreducible monoid scheme X (satisfying some mild conditions) and an idempotent semifield S, the Picard group Pic(X) of X is stable under scalar extension to S (and in fact to any field K). In other words, we show that the groups Pic(X) and Pic(XS) (and Pic(XK)) are isomorphic. In particular, if XC is a toric variety, then Pic(X) is the same as the Picard group of the associated tropical scheme. The Picard groups can be computed by considering the correct sheaf cohomology groups. We also define the group CaCl(XS) of Cartier divisors modulo principal Cartier divisors for a cancellative semiring scheme XS and prove that CaCl(XS) is isomorphic to Pic(XS). 1. Introduction In recent years, there has been a growing interest in developing a notion of algebraic geometry over more general algebraic structures than commutative rings or fields. The search for such a theory is interesting in its own right. The current work, however, relates to two actively growing sub-fields of that study. The first one is motivated by the search for “absolute geometry” (commonly known as F1-geometry or algebraic geometry in characteristic one) which is first mentioned by J. Tits in [35]; Tits first hints at the existence of a mysterious field of “characteristic one” by observing a degenerating case of an incidence geometry Γ(K) associated to a Chevalley group G(K) over a field K; when K = Fq (a field with q elements), as q → 1, the algebraic structure of K completely degenerates, unlike the geometric structure of Γ(K).

  • On Absolute Algebraic Geometry the Affine Case the Category Mo (By the Natural Functor M ↦ SM: the Spherical Monoid Algebra [11])
    On Absolute Algebraic Geometry the affine case Alain Connes and Caterina Consani To our dearest mothers, in loving memory. Abstract We develop algebraic geometry for general Segal's Γ-rings and show that this new theory unifies two approaches we had considered earlier on (for a geometry under Spec Z). The starting observation is that the category obtained by gluing together the category of commutative rings and that of pointed commutative monoids, that we used in [3] to define F1-schemes, is naturally a full subcategory of the category of Segal's Γ-rings (equivalently of S-algebras). In this paper we develop the affine case of this general algebraic geometry: one distinctive feature is that the spectrum Spec(A) of an S-algebra is in general a Grothendieck site rather than a point set endowed with a topology. Two striking features of this new geometry are that it is the natural domain for cyclic homology and for homological algebra as in [22], and that new operations, which do not make sense in ordinary algebraic geometry, are here available. For instance, in this new context, the quotient of a ring by a multiplicative subgroup is still an S-algebra to which our general theory applies. Thus the adele class space gives rise naturally to an S-algebra. Finally, we show that our theory is not a special case of the T¨oen-Vaqui´e general theory [24] of algebraic geometry under Spec Z.

    New perspectives in Arakelov geometry Caterina Consani and Matilde Marcolli Abstract In this paper we give a unified description of the archimedean and the totally split degenerate fibers of an arithmetic surface, using operator algebras and Connes’ theory of spectral triples in noncommutative geometry. 1 Introduction. The aim of this article is to report on some of the recent results obtained by the two authors on a non-commutative interpretation of the totally split degenerate fibers of an arithmetic surface. The results stated in the first part of the paper were announced in a talk given by the first author at the VII meeting of the CNTA in May 2002 at Montreal. The material presented in this note is based on the papers [11] and [12]. Let be an arithmetic surface defined over Spec(Z) (or over Spec( K), for a number field K), X O having the smooth algebraic curve X/Q as its generic fiber. It is well known that, as a Riemann surface, X/C admits always a uniformization by means of a Schottky group Γ. In fact, the presence of this uniformization plays a fundamental role in the theory of the “fiber at infinity” of described in [22] and [11]. In analogy to Mumford’s p-adic uniformization of algebraic curves (cf. X[26]), the Riemann surface X/C can be interpreted as the boundary at infinity of a 3-manifold XΓ defined as the quotient 3 of the real hyperbolic 3-space H by the action of the Schottky group Γ. The space XΓ contains in its interior an infinite link of bounded geodesics.
