Inst. Fourier, Grenoble 62, 5 (2012) 1819-1887 MEAN-PERIODICITY AND ZETA FUNCTIONS by Ivan FESENKO, Guillaume RICOTTA & Masatoshi SUZUKI Abstract. — This paper establishes new bridges between zeta functions in number theory and modern harmonic analysis, namely between the class of complex functions, which contains the zeta functions of arithmetic schemes and closed with respect to product and quotient, and the class of mean-periodic functions in several spaces of functions on the real line. In particular, the meromorphic continuation and functional equation of the zeta function of an arithmetic scheme with its expected analytic shape is shown to correspond to mean-periodicity of a certain explicitly defined function associated to the zeta function. The case of elliptic curves over number fields and their regular models is treated in more details, and many other examples are included as well. Résumé. — Cet article établit de nouveaux ponts entre les fonctions zeta en théorie des nombres et l’analyse harmonique moderne, c’est-à-dire entre la classe des fonctions de la variable complexe, qui contient les fonctions zeta des sché- mas arithmétiques et est stable par produit et quotient, et la classe des fonctions moyennes périodiques sur pluieurs espaces de fonctions de la droite réelle. En parti- culier, il est démontré que le prolongement méromorphe et l’équation fonctionnelle de la fonction zeta d’un schéma arithmétique correspond à la moyenne périodicité d’une fonction explicitement définie et associée à cette fonction zeta. Le cas des courbes elliptiques sur des corps de nombres et leurs modèles réguliers est traité en détails, et de nombreux exemples supplémentaires sont inclus. Acknowledgements. — The authors thank A.

Introduction The Hecke-Weil correspondence between modular forms and Dirichlet se- ries plays a pivotal role in number theory. In this paper we propose a new correspondence between mean-periodic functions in several spaces of func- tions on the real line and a class of Dirichlet series which admit meromor- phic continuation and functional equation. This class includes arithmetic zeta functions and their products, quotients, derivatives. In the first approx- imation the new correspondence can be stated as this: the rescaled com- pleted zeta-function of arithmetic scheme S has meromorphic continuation of expected analytic shape and satisfies the functional equation s → 1 − s with sign ε if and only if the function f(exp(−t)) − ε exp(t)f(exp(t)) is a mean-periodic function in the space of smooth functions on the real line of exponential growth, where f(x) is the inverse Mellin transform of the product of an appropriate sufficiently large positive power of the completed Riemann zeta function and the rescaled completed zeta function. For pre- cise statements see Subsection 1.4 below and other subsections of this In- troduction. For the best of our knowledge the correspondence in this paper is the first correspondence which addresses the issue of functional analy- sis property of functions associated to the zeta functions which guarantees their meromorphic continuation and functional equation without asking for the stronger automorphic property of its L-factors. Whereas modular forms is a classical object investigated for more than 150 years, the theory of mean-periodic functions is a relatively recent part of functional analysis whose relations to arithmetic zeta functions is studied and described in this paper. The text presents the analytic aspects of the new correspondence in accessible and relatively self-contained form. As it is well known there is a large distance between the first important stage of stating the correspondence between L-functions and automorphic adelic representations and the second important stage of actually proving it even for some of the simplest notrivial cases. This work plays the role of the first stage for the new correspondence between the zeta functions in arithmetic geometry and mean-periodicity. ANNALES DE L’INSTITUT FOURIER MEAN-PERIODICITY AND ZETA FUNCTIONS 1821 1.1. Boundary terms in the classical one-dimensional case The completed zeta function of a number field K is defined on <e (s) > 1 by ζbK(s) := ζ∞,K(s)ζK (s) where ζK(s) is the classical Dedekind zeta function of K defined using the Euler product over all maximal ideal of the ring of integers of K and ζK,∞(s) is a finite product of Γ-factors defined in (5.6). It satisfies the integral representation (see [43]) Z s ζbK(s) = f(x) |x| µ × (x) × AK AK where f is an appropriately normalized function in the Schwartz-Bruhat space on and | | stands for the module on the ideles × of . An AK AK K application of analytic duality on K ⊂ AK leads to the decomposition ζbK(s) = ξ (f, s) + ξ f,b 1 − s + ωf (s) where fb is the Fourier transform of f, ξ(f, s) is an entire function and Z 1 s x ωf (s) = hf (x)x 0 x with Z Z −1 −1 hf (x) := − f(xγβ) − x fb x γβ µ(β)µ(γ). γ∈ 1 / × β∈∂ × AK K K Consider the weakest topology on AK, in which every character (namely continuous homomorphism to the unit circle) of AK is continuous. Then, the closure of K× is K and the boundary ∂K× of K× is K \ K× = {0}. The meromorphic continuation and the functional equation for ζbK(s) are equivalent to the meromorphic continuation and the functional equation for ωf (s). Let us remark that ωf (s) is the Laplace transform of Hf (t) := −t −t hf (e ) thanks to the change of variable x = e . The properties of the functions hf (x) and Hf (t), which are called the boundary terms for obvious reason, are crucial in order to have a better understanding of ωf (s). We have h (x) = −µ 1 × f(0) − x−1f(0) , f AK K b H (t) = −µ 1 × f(0) − etf(0) f AK K b since ∂K× is just the single point 0, with the appropriately normalized measure on the idele class group. As a consequence, ωf (s) is a rational TOME 62 (2012), FASCICULE 5 1822 Ivan FESENKO, Guillaume RICOTTA & Masatoshi SUZUKI function of s invariant with respect to f 7→ fb and s 7→ (1 − s). Thus, ζbK(s) admits a meromorphic continuation to C and satisfies a functional equation with respect to s 7→ (1 − s). 1.2. Mean-periodicity and analytic properties of Laplace transforms The previous discussion in the one-dimensional classical case naturally leads to the analytic study of Laplace transforms of specific functions. In particular, the meromorphic continuation and functional equation for × Mellin transforms of real-valued functions f on R+ of rapid decay at +∞ and polynomial order at 0+ is equivalent to the meromorphic continuation and functional equation of Z 1 Z +∞ s x −st ωf (s) := hf (x)x = Hf (t)e t 0 x 0 with −1 −1 hf (x) = f(x) − εx f x −t and Hf (t) = hf (e ), where ε = ±1 is the sign of the expected functional equation (see Section3). The functions hf (x) and Hf (t) are called the boundary terms by analogy. The main question is the following one. What property of hf (x) or Hf (t) implies the meromorphic continuation and functional equation for ωf (s)? One sufficient answer is mean-periodicity(1) . Mean-periodicity is an easy generalization of periodicity; a function g of a functional space X is X- mean-periodic if the space spanned by its translates is not dense in X. When the Hahn-Banach theorem is available in X, g is X-mean-periodic if and only if g satisfies a convolution equation g ∗ ϕ = 0 for some non- trivial element ϕ of the dual space X∗ and a suitable convolution ∗.

A main theme of the paper is a conjecture of Bloch-Kato on the image of p-adic regulator maps for a proper smooth variety X over an algebraic number field k. The conjecture for a regulator map of particular degree and weight is related to finiteness of two arithmetic objects: One is the p-primary torsion part of the Chow group in codimension 2 of X. An- other is an unramified cohomology group of X. As an application, for a regular model X of X over the integer ring of k, we prove an injectivity result on the torsion cycle class map of codimension 2 with values in a new p-adic cohomology of X introduced by the second author, which is a can- didate of the conjectural etale´ motivic cohomology with finite coefficients of Beilinson-Lichtenbaum. 2010 Mathematics Subject Classification: Primary 14C25, 14G40; Sec- ondary 14F30, 19F27, 11G25.

  • Arithmetic Deformation Theory Via Arithmetic Fundamental Groups and Nonarchimedean Theta-Functions, Notes on the Work of Shinichi Mochizuki
    ARITHMETIC DEFORMATION THEORY VIA ARITHMETIC FUNDAMENTAL GROUPS AND NONARCHIMEDEAN THETA-FUNCTIONS, NOTES ON THE WORK OF SHINICHI MOCHIZUKI IVAN FESENKO ABSTRACT. These notes survey the main ideas, concepts and objects of the work by Shinichi Mochizuki on inter- universal Teichmüller theory [31], which might also be called arithmetic deformation theory, and its application to diophantine geometry. They provide an external perspective which complements the review texts [32] and [33]. Some important developments which preceded [31] are presented in the first section. Several key aspects of arithmetic deformation theory are discussed in the second section. Its main theorem gives an inequality–bound on the size of volume deformation associated to a certain log-theta-lattice. The application to several fundamental conjectures in number theory follows from a further direct computation of the right hand side of the inequality. The third section considers additional related topics, including practical hints on how to study the theory. This text was published in Europ. J. Math. (2015) 1:405–440. CONTENTS Foreword 2 1.

  • Theoretic Timeline Converging on Motivic Cohomology, Then Briefly Discuss Algebraic 퐾-Theory and Its More Concrete Cousin Milnor 퐾-Theory
    AN OVERVIEW OF MOTIVIC COHOMOLOGY PETER J. HAINE Abstract. In this talk we give an overview of some of the motivations behind and applica- tions of motivic cohomology. We first present a 퐾-theoretic timeline converging on motivic cohomology, then briefly discuss algebraic 퐾-theory and its more concrete cousin Milnor 퐾-theory. We then present a geometric definition of motivic cohomology via Bloch’s higher Chow groups and outline the main features of motivic cohomology, namely, its relation to Milnor 퐾-theory. In the last part of the talk we discuss the role of motivic cohomology in Voevodsky’s proof of the Bloch–Kato conjecture. The statement of the Bloch–Kato conjec- ture is elementary and predates motivic cohomolgy, but its proof heavily relies on motivic cohomology and motivic homotopy theory. Contents 1. A Timeline Converging to Motivic Cohomology 1 2. A Taste of Algebraic 퐾-Theory 3 3. Milnor 퐾-theory 4 4. Bloch’s Higher Chow Groups 4 5. Properties of Motivic Cohomology 6 6.

We first say a few words about what motivic cohomology is. 푝 op • Motivic cohomology is a bigraded cohomology theory H (−; 퐙(푞))∶ Sm/푘 → Ab. • Voevodsky won the fields medal because “he defined and developed motivic coho- mology and the 퐀1-homotopy theory of algebraic varieties; he proved the Milnor conjectures on the 퐾-theory of fields.” Moreover, Voevodsky’s proof of the Milnor conjecture makes extensive use of motivic cohomology.

  • Adelic Approach to the Zeta Function of Arithmetic Schemes in Dimension Two
    Adelic approach to the zeta function of arithmetic schemes in dimension two Ivan Fesenko Abstract. A new theory to understand fundamental properties of the zeta functions of arithmetic schemes is proposed and developed in the case of a regular model of an elliptic curve over a global field. This is a two-dimensional commutative K2 and K1 × K1 extension of the classical adelic analysis of Iwasawa and Tate. Using structures from the explicit two-dimensional class field theory and working with a new R((X))-valued translation invariant measure, integration theory and harmonic analysis on various complete objects associated to arithmetic surfaces we define and study zeta integrals which are closely related to the zeta function of the regular model. The two- dimensional adelic analysis and geometry reduces the study of poles of the zeta function to the study of poles of a boundary term which is an integral of a certain arithmetic function over the boundary of an adelic space. The structure of the boundary and function determines the analytic properties of the boundary term and location of the poles of the zeta function, which results in applications of the theory to several key directions of arithmetic of elliptic curves over global fields. 0. Introduction 0.1. To study properties of the Riemann zeta function X 1 ζ (s) = : Z ns n>1 one can work with the completed zeta function ζ (s) = π−s=2 G(s=2) ζ (s) bZ Z which has an integral representation Z 1 dx X (θ(x2) − 1)xs ; θ(x) = exp(−πn2x): 0 x n2Z The integral can be rewritten as Z 1 dx Z 1 dx θ(x2) − 1 xs + θ(x2) − 1 x1−s + !(s) 1 x 1 x where Z 1 dx !(s) = (θ(x2) − 1)x − (θ(x−2) − 1)xs−1 : 0 x Moscow Math.

    PROBABILISTIC SZPIRO, BABY SZPIRO, AND EXPLICIT SZPIRO FROM MOCHIZUKI’S COROLLARY 3.12 TAYLOR DUPUY AND ANTON HILADO Abstract. In [DH20b] we gave some explicit formulas for the “indeterminacies” ind1, ind2, ind3 in Mochizuki’s Inequality as well as a new presentation of initial theta data. In the present paper we use these explicit formulas, together with our probabilistic formulation of [Moc15a, Corollary 3.12] to derive variants of Szpiro’s inequality (in the spirit of [Moc15b]). In par- ticular, for an elliptic curve in initial theta data we show how to derive uniform Szpiro (with explicit numerical constants). The inequalities we get will be strictly weaker than [Moc15b, Theorem 1.10] but the proofs are more transparent, modifiable, and user friendly. All of these inequalities are derived from an probabilistic version of [Moc15a, Corollary 3.12] formulated in [DH20b] based on the notion of random measurable sets. Contents 1. Introduction 1 2.

That same day, Tamagawa e-mailed the news to one of his collaborators, number theorist Ivan Fesenko of the Univer- Shinichi Mochizuki claims sity of Nottingham, UK. Fesenko immediately downloaded the papers and started to read. But he soon became “bewildered”, he says. “It was to have solved one of the impossible to understand them.” Fesenko e-mailed some top experts in Mochizuki’s field of arithmetic most important problems in geometry, and word of the proof quickly spread. Within days, intense chatter began on mathematical blogs and online forums (see Nature mathematics. The trouble is, http://doi.org/725; 2012). But for many researchers, early elation about the proof quickly turned to scepticism. Everyone — even those whose hardly anyone can work out area of expertise was closest to Mochizuki’s — was just as flummoxed by the papers as Fesenko had been. To complete the proof, Mochizuki had whether he’s right. invented a new branch of his discipline, one that is astonishingly abstract even by the standards of pure maths. “Looking at it, you feel a bit like you might be reading a paper from the future, or from outer space,” number theorist Jordan Ellenberg, of the University of Wisconsin–Madison, By Davide Castelvecchi wrote on his blog a few days after the paper appeared. Three years on, Mochizuki’s proof remains in mathematical limbo — neither debunked nor accepted by the wider community.

  • Titans of Mathematics Clash Over Epic Proof of ABC Conjecture
    Quanta Magazine Titans of Mathematics Clash Over Epic Proof of ABC Conjecture Two mathematicians have found what they say is a hole at the heart of a proof that has convulsed the mathematics community for nearly six years. By Erica Klarreich In a report posted online today, Peter Scholze of the University of Bonn and Jakob Stix of Goethe University Frankfurt describe what Stix calls a “serious, unfixable gap” within a mammoth series of papers by Shinichi Mochizuki, a mathematician at Kyoto University who is renowned for his brilliance. Posted online in 2012, Mochizuki’s papers supposedly prove the abc conjecture, one of the most far-reaching problems in number theory. Despite multiple conferences dedicated to explicating Mochizuki’s proof, number theorists have struggled to come to grips with its underlying ideas. His series of papers, which total more than 500 pages, are written in an impenetrable style, and refer back to a further 500 pages or so of previous work by Mochizuki, creating what one mathematician, Brian Conrad of Stanford University, has called “a sense of infinite regress.” Between 12 and 18 mathematicians who have studied the proof in depth believe it is correct, wrote Ivan Fesenko of the University of Nottingham in an email. But only mathematicians in “Mochizuki’s orbit” have vouched for the proof’s correctness, Conrad commented in a blog discussion last December. “There is nobody else out there who has been willing to say even off the record that they are confident the proof is complete.” Nevertheless, wrote Frank Calegari of the University of Chicago in a December blog post, “mathematicians are very loath to claim that there is a problem with Mochizuki’s argument because they can’t point to any definitive error.” That has now changed.
