The Weil Proof and the Geometry of the Adèles Class Space
The Weil Proof and the Geometry of the Adèles Class Space Alain Connes,1 Caterina Consani,2 and Matilde Marcolli3 1 Collège de France, 3, rue d’Ulm, Paris, F-75005 France [email protected] 2 Mathematics Department, Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD 21218 USA [email protected] 3 Department of Mathematics, California Institute of Technology 1200 E California Blvd, Pasadena, CA 91101, USA [email protected] Dedicated to Yuri Manin on the occasion of his 70th birthday O simili o dissimili che sieno questi mondi non con minor raggione sarebe bene a l’uno l’essere che a l’altro Giordano Bruno – De l’infinito, universo e mondi Summary. 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.

Night Songs 5 3. Street Science 6 3.1. Street Art and Street Signs 6 3.2. The End? 8 1. Introduction I was invited to this conference to present the results of an old experiment, a twenty year old exploration of narrative and mathematics, in the form of a collection of fairytales. I began writing the stories of Racconti per il lupo (Tales for the Wolf) in 1986, when I was a sixteen year old student of the Liceo Classico, more occupied with ancient Greek texts and philosophy than with mathematics. I ﬁnished the collection when I was about to graduate in Theoretical Physics, at the University of Milano, in 1993. Those few years spanned enormous transformations, at the personal level, going through the passage from late adolescence to adulthood, and from being a student of classical languages to a professional physicist, as well as on the larger scale of society and the world: those were the years that marked \the end of the short century", with all the upheaval, excitement and anxiety that came with it. In their minuscule cameo scale, the mathematical stories I was putting together, act as a small fragmented mirror of larger events. The stories, written in Italian, and illustrated by a series of collages I prepared in the style of Max Ernst, are now available online at the publisher Lulu.com, along with some of my more recent writings.

Preserving the Unity of Mathematics CONTENTS
ICMAT Newsletter #13 Autumn 2016 CSIC - UAM - UC3M - UCM EDITORIAL After the last European Congress of Mathematics, held between July 18th and July 22nd in Berlin, Marta Sanz-Solé, professor at the University of Barcelona, speaks about the European Mathematical Society, of which she was the Chair person between 2010 a 2014. The ECM: Preserving the Unity of Mathematics Less than one year ago, in October, 2015, the European Mathe- matical Society (EMS) celebrated its 25th anniversary. The place chosen to commemorate the event was the Institut Henri Poin- caré, the home of mathematics and theoretical physics in Paris since 1928. In that same year, the London Mathematical Soci- ety, one of the oldest mathematical societies in Europe, cele- brated its 150th anniversary, while many other societies have recently commemorated their 100th anniversary or are about to Rascon Image: Fernando do so. This difference in age may give rise to certain complexes, although there is no reason why this should happen. The EMS has enjoyed great success during its short existence, thanks to the well-defined space it occupies in a world that is advancing rapidly towards globalization, and the exclusively international scenario in which it carries out its functions. The conception and creation of the EMS in 1990 is better under- stood in the political context of Europe that arose after the tragic experience of World War II. In 1958, the communitary structure that currently underpins the Europan Union (EU) was estab- CONTENTS lished, on the basis of which the identity of Europe has been con- solidated, and the project, initially focused on the economy, has evolved along all fronts that affect the lives of those belonging Editorial: Marta Sanz-Solé (University of to the member states; in particular, education, research and in- Barcelona)..............................................................1 novation.

A Drifter of Dadaist Persuasion
A DRIFTER OF DADAIST PERSUASION MATILDE MARCOLLI 1. Mathematics through Abstract Art sors immanis et inanis, rota tu volubilis 1.1. Abstractions. Both my parents were very deeply involved in the scene of Italian contemporary art, over the span of several decades. Both of them studied Architecture in the late 1950s and early 1960s at the Politecnico in Milan. My mother, who had been a student Ernesto Nathan Rogers, collaborated with some of the most visible figures in architecture and graphic design of the time: Konrad Wachsmann, Ignazio Gardella, Albe Steiner. My father became a colleague of Umberto Eco and TomásMaldonado at the experimental university program in the arts, the DAMS of Bologna. My parents were also painters, and their art was frequently inspired by mathematical themes (Figure 1 and Figure 2). In the 1970s, both before and after my parents divorced, our house was frequented by a circle of artists, designers, and various communist intellectuals. I grew up surrounded by contemporary art, well versed in its history and meaning. I grew up listening to atonal 20th century classical music: by the time I was in my early teens, my favorite composers were Luciano Berio, Luigi Nono, Karlheinz Stockhausen, Iannis Xenakis, Giacinto Scelsi, Pierre Boulez. Later in my teens I discovered early music: Carlo Gesualdo, Luca Marenzio, Orlando di Lasso. I never came to terms with the Romanticism, which remains incomprehensible to me to this day. My taste in the visual arts was largely influenced by the artistic movements that surrounded me in my early years: my father's Abstractism was close to the currents of Op Art and Kinetic Art and to the Ulm school of Design.

Spectral Action Models of Gravity on Packed Swiss Cheese Cosmology 3
SPECTRAL ACTION MODELS OF GRAVITY ON PACKED SWISS CHEESE COSMOLOGY ADAM BALL AND MATILDE MARCOLLI Abstract. We present a model of (modified) gravity on spacetimes with fractal structure based on packing of spheres, which are (Euclidean) variants of the Packed Swiss Cheese Cosmology models. As the action functional for gravity we consider the spectral action of noncommutative geometry, and we compute its expansion on a space obtained as an Apol- lonian packing of 3-dimensional spheres inside a 4-dimensional ball. Using information from the zeta function of the Dirac operator of the spectral triple, we compute the leading terms in the asymptotic expansion of the spectral action. They consist of a zeta regularization of a divergent sum which involves the leading terms of the spectral actions of the individual spheres in the packing. This accounts for the contribution of the points 1 and 3 in the dimension spectrum (as in the case of a 3-sphere). There is an additional term coming from the residue at the additional point in the real dimension spectrum that corresponds to the packing constant, as well as a series of fluctuations coming from log-periodic oscillations, created by the points of the dimension spectrum that are off the real line. These terms detect the fractality of the residue set of the sphere packing. We show that the presence of fractality influences the shape of the slow-roll potential for inflation, obtained from the spectral action. We also discuss the effect of truncating the fractal structure at a certain scale related to the energy scale in the spectral action.

UNCONDITIONAL NONCOMMUTATIVE MOTIVIC GALOIS GROUPS 3 Is Conservative; Consult [2, §1]
UNCONDITIONAL NONCOMMUTATIVE MOTIVIC GALOIS GROUPS MATILDE MARCOLLI AND GONÇALO TABUADA Abstract. In this short note we introduce the unconditional noncommutative motivic Galois groups and relate them with those of André-Kahn. Dedicated to Herb Clemens, on the occasion of his non-retirement. Motivating questions Motivic Galois groups were introduced by Grothendieck in the sixties as part of his broad theory of (pure) motives. These group schemes are conditional in the sense that their construction makes use of the standard conjectures. Thanks to Kontsevich [6, 7, 8], Grothendieck’s theory of motives admits a noncommutative counterpart, with schemes replaced by dg categories. The standard conjectures admit noncommutative analogues and there exist also conditional noncommutative motivic Galois groups; consult [10, 11, 12] for details. Recently, via an evolved “⊗-categorification” of the Wedderburn-Malcev’s theo- rem, André-Kahn [2] introduced unconditional motivic Galois groups. These group schemes GalH (attached to a Weil cohomology theory H) are well-defined up to an interior automorphism and do not require the assumption of any of Grothendieck’s standard conjectures. This lead us naturally to the following motivating questions: NC Q1: Do the Galois groups GalH admit noncommutative analogues GalH ? NC Q2: What is the relation between GalH and GalH ? NC Q3: What is the relation between GalH and the conditional Galois groups ? In this short note we provide precise answers to these three questions; see Defi- nition 2.8, Theorem 3.2, and Proposition 4.2, respectively. 1. Preliminaries Let k be a base field and F a field of coefficients. The classical idempotent arXiv:1112.5422v2 [math.KT] 22 Feb 2014 completion construction will be denoted by (−)♮.

ARCHIMEDEAN COHOMOLOGY REVISITED CATERINA CONSANI‡ AND MATILDE MARCOLLI† 1. Introduction C. Deninger produced a unified description of the local factors at arithmetic infinity and at the fi- nite places where the local Frobenius acts semi-simply, in the form of a Ray–Singer determinant of a “logarithm of Frobenius” Φ on an infinite dimensional vector space (the archimedean cohomology Har· (X) at the archimedean places, cf. [11]). The first author gave a cohomological interpretation of , the space Har· (X), in terms of a double complex K· · of real differential forms on a smooth projective algebraic variety X (over C or R), with Tate-twists and suitable cutoffs, together with an endomor- phism N, which represents a “logarithm of the local monodromy at arithmetic infinity”. Moreover, in this theory the cohomology of the complex Cone(N)· computes real Deligne cohomology of X (cf. [9]). The construction of [9] is motivated by a dictionary of analogies between the geometry of the tubular neighborhoods of the “fibers at arithmetic infinity” of an arithmetic variety X and the geometric theory of the limiting mixed Hodge structure of a degeneration over a disk. Thus, the formulation and notation used in [9] for the double complex and archimedean cohomology mimics the definition, in the geometric case, of a resolution of the complex of nearby cycles and its cohomology(cf. [28]). In Section 2 and 3 we give an equivalent description of Consani’s double complex, which allows us to investigate further the structure induced on the complex and the archimedean cohomology by the operators N, Φ, and the Lefschetz operator L.
