THE ANALYTIC CLASS NUMBER FORMULA FOR 1-DIMENSIONAL AFFINE SCHEMES BRUCE W. JORDAN AND BJORN POONEN Abstract. We derive an analytic class number formula valid for an order in a product of S-integers in global fields, or equivalently for reduced finite-type affine schemes of pure dimension 1 over Z. 1. Introduction Let K be a finite extension of Q. Let be its ring of integers. Let ζ (s) be the Dedekind OK K zeta function of K, which is the zeta function of Spec K . Dedekind [Dir94, Supplement XI, 184, IV], generalizing work of Dirichlet, proved theOanalytic class number formula, which § expresses the residue of ζK(s) at s = 1 in terms of arithmetic invariants (see also Hilbert’s Zahlbericht [Hil97, Theorem 56]). More precisely, he proved that 2r1 (2π)r2 hR (1) lim(s 1)ζK(s)= , s→1 − w Disc K 1/2 | | where r1 is the number of real places, r2 is the number of complex places, h is the class number, R is the unit regulator, w is the number of roots of unity, and Disc K is the discriminant. F. K. Schmidt [Sch31, Satz 21] proved an analogue for a global function field. This could be generalized in several ways: Replace by a non-maximal order. • OK Replace K by a ring of S-integers for some finite set S of places of K. • Allow Z-algebrasO of Krull dimension 1 that are not necessarily integral domains. • We will generalize simultaneously in all of these directions, by proving a version of (1) for an order in a product of S-integers in global fields, or equivalently for a reduced affine finite-typeOZ-scheme of pure dimension 1 (for the equivalence, see Proposition 4.2). Our main result, expressing the leading term of the arithmetic zeta function of [Ser65, p. 83] in arXiv:1604.04564v3 [math.NT] 30 Dec 2019 terms of quantities to be defined in Section 5, is this: Theorem 1.1 (Generalized analytic class number formula). Let X be a reduced affine finite- type Z-scheme of pure dimension 1, say X = Spec . Let m be the number of irreducible components of X. Then O r1 r2 −1 m 2 (2π) h( ) R( ) v∈Snonarch ((1 qv ) / log qv) (2) lim(s 1) ζX (s)= O O − . s→1 − w( ) Disc 1/2 OQ| O| Date: December 30, 2019. 2010 Mathematics Subject Classification.

The second author was supported in part by National Science Foundation grant DMS-1069236 and DMS- 1601946 and grants from the Simons Foundation (#340694, #402472, and #550033). 1 Remark 1.2. Theorem 1.1 seems to be new even for orders in rings of integers of number fields and for rings of S-integers in number fields. Remark 1.3. Replacing a finite-type Z-scheme X by its associated reduced subscheme Xred does not change ζX (s). On the other hand, if the scheme X = Spec in Theorem 1.1 is not assumed to be reduced, then × need not be finitely generated, soO defining the regulator O 2 × R( ) is problematic: for example, if := F2[t, ǫ]/(ǫ ), then is isomorphic to the additive groupO of F [t] via the homomorphismO 1 + fǫ f. O 2 7→ Remark 1.4. Various authors defined other zeta functions attached to a singular curve over a finite field and computed their leading terms at s = 0 or s = 1 [Gal73, Gre89, ZG97, ZG97b, St¨o98], but these zeta functions are different from the usual zeta function in [Ser65] in general. 1.1. Outline of the article. Section 2 proves Theorem 1.1 for a ring of S-integers. Because we want a formula involving the S-class group and S-regulator instead of the usual class group and regulator, it is not convenient to deduce this from the classical formula for the ring of integers. Instead we redo the calculations of Tate’s thesis for S-integers. Sections 3 and 4 characterize the rings such that Spec is a reduced affine finite-type O O Z-scheme of pure dimension 1. In particular, the normalization of such a ring is a product of rings of S-integers. O O Section 5 defines all the quantities that appear in (2). e Section 6 proves Theorem 1.1. The formula for follows from the case proved in Section 2, O so our strategy is to determine how each term in (2) changes when is replaced by . In particular, we use the Leray spectral sequence toe determine how theO unit group and PicardO group change. e Finally Sections 7 and 8 illustrate (2) in examples exhibiting the phenomena that can arise in our context: both number fields and function fields, S-integers instead of just integers, multiple irreducible components, and non-maximal orders (and hence singular points of the scheme). 2. Tate’s thesis for S-integers Let K be a global field. Let µ be the torsion subgroup of K×, and let w = #µ. For each place v of K, let K be the completion of K at v. If K R, equip it with Lebesgue v v ≃ measure. If Kv C, equip it with 2 times Lebesgue measure. For each nonarchimedean v, let be the valuation≃ ring in K , let q be the size of its residue field, and equip K with Ov v v v the Haar measure dx for which vol( v) = 1; here we follow [Wei67, p. 95] instead of taking the self-dual measure as in [Tat67, p.O 310]. We write vol(T ) for the measure of a set T with respect to a measure that is implied by context. If a Kv for some v, let a v R≥0 be the factor by which multiplication-by-a scales the ∈ | | ∈ × Haar measure on Kv. The measure we use on Kv is not the restriction of the measure dx on × Kv. If v is archimedean, equip Kv with the Haar measure dx/ x v. If v is nonarchimedean, × × | | equip Kv with the Haar measure for which vol( v ) = 1. × × O × × Let Kv,1 := x Kv : x v =1 . If v is nonarchimedean, Kv,1 = v , which has volume 1 { ∈ | |× } × O for the Haar measure on Kv . If v is archimedean, then equip Kv,1 with the Haar measure 2 × compatible with the Haar measure on Kv and Lebesgue measure on R in the exact sequence log || 1 K× K× v R 0 −→ v,1 −→ v −→ −→ (for the notion of compatibility, see, e.g., [DE14, Theorem 1.53]; the notion can be extended to exact sequences of arbitrary finite length by breaking them into short exact sequences). ′ Define the ad`ele ring A as the restricted product v(Kv, v) with the product measure. × ′ × × O Equip the id`ele group A = v(Kv , v ) with the product of the multiplicative Haar mea- sures. The field K embeds diagonallyO in A, and K×Qembeds diagonally in A×. Equip the discrete groups K and K× andQ their subgroups with the counting measure, in order to equip A/K and A×/K× with measures. Let S be a finite nonempty set of places of K containing all the archimedean places. Let Snonarch be the set of nonarchimedean places in S. Define the ring of S-integers by := x K : v(x) 0 for all v / S . O { ∈ ≥ ∈ } Lemma 2.1. We have a measure-compatible isomorphism K A v∈S v × v∈ /S Ov ∼ −→ K Q Q and a measure-compatible short exact sequenceO K K 0 v∈S v × v∈ /S Ov v∈S v 0. −→ Ov −→ −→ −→ v∈ /S Q Q Q Y O O Proof. Since S is nonempty, strong approximation [Cas67, 15] implies that any x A can § ∈ be written as y + ǫ with y K and ǫ = (ǫv) A such that ǫv v for all v / S. In other words, the homomorphism ∈ ∈ ∈ O ∈ A K v × Ov −→ K v∈S Y vY∈ /S is surjective. Its kernel is K v∈S Kv v∈ /S v = , so we obtain the claimed isomor- phism. By definition of the measures,∩ the× upperO three homomorphisO ms in the diagram Q Q K / A v∈S v × v∈ /S Ov Q Q K A v∈S v × v∈ /S Ov ∼ / K Q O Q respect the measures, so the induced isomorphism at the bottom does too. The exact sequence is obtained from the measure-compatible split exact sequence 0 K K 0 −→ Ov −→ v × Ov −→ v −→ vY∈ /S vY∈S vY∈ /S vY∈S by dividing each of the last two terms by the image of with the counting measure. O Define the S-Arakelov divisor group (cf. the usual Arakelov divisor group in [Neu99, III.1.8]) by Div := R (Z log q ), O × v v∈S v∈ /S M 3 M d where each R has Lebesgue measure and each Z log qv has the counting measure. We have a 0 homomorphism deg: Div R that sums the components, and its kernel is denoted Div , O→ 0 O which acquires a measure compatible with the sequence 0 Div Div R 0. d× → O → O → d→ The homomorphism A Div sending (xv) to (log xv v) restricts to a homomorphism 0 → O | | 0 K× Div whose cokernel is called the S-Arakelov class groupdPic . LetdA× be the kernel → O O 1 × d deg S of the composition A Div R. Equip R := v∈S R and R with Lebesgue measure. d → O → sum c Equip the sum-zero hyperplane RS := ker RS R with the measure compatible with 0 −→ L d S those (equivalently, identify R0 with its projection under the forget-one-coordinate map and use Lebesgue measure on the image).

For the Riemann hypothe- sis, we will follow Grothendieck’s argument [1]. The main tools used in these proofs are basic results in algebraic geometry: Riemann-Roch, intersection theory on a surface, and the Hodge index theorem. For references: in Section 2 we used [3], while the rest can be found in Hartshorne [2] V.1 and Appendix C (some of it in the form of exercises). 1.1 Statements of the Weil conjectures We recall the statements. Let X be a smooth projective variety of dimension n over Fq. We define its zeta function by 1 !

It consists essentially of three parts: in a first part, I in- troduce some ideas which are based in the combinatorial theory underlying F1, the field with one element. In a second part, I describe, in a nutshell, the fundamental scheme theory over F1 which was designed by Deitmar. The last part focuses on zeta functions of Deitmar schemes, and also presents more recent work done in this area.

As such, one ends up with a guise of a “field with one element, F1” through taking limits of geometries. A general reference for F1 is the recent monograph [21].

    SATO-TATE DISTRIBUTIONS ANDREW V.SUTHERLAND ABSTRACT. In this expository article we explore the relationship between Galois representations, motivic L-functions, Mumford-Tate groups, and Sato-Tate groups, and give an explicit formulation of the Sato-Tate conjecture for abelian varieties as an equidistribution statement relative to the Sato-Tate group. We then discuss the classification of Sato-Tate groups of abelian varieties of dimension g 3 and compute some of the corresponding trace distributions. This article is based on a series of lectures≤ presented at the 2016 Arizona Winter School held at the Southwest Center for Arithmetic Geometry. 1. AN INTRODUCTION TO SATO-TATE DISTRIBUTIONS Before discussing the Sato-Tate conjecture and Sato-Tate distributions for abelian varieties, we first consider the more familiar setting of Artin motives, which can be viewed as varieties of dimension zero. 1.1. A first example. Let f Z[x] be a squarefree polynomial of degree d; for example, we may take 3 2 f (x) = x x + 1. Since f has integer coefficients, we can reduce them modulo any prime p to obtain − a polynomial fp with coefficients in the finite field Z=pZ Fp. For each prime p define ' Nf (p) := # x Fp : fp(x) = 0 , f 2 g which we note is an integer between 0 and d. We would like to understand how Nf (p) varies with p. 3 The table below shows the values of Nf (p) when f (x) = x x + 1 for primes p < 60: − p : 2 3 5 7 11 13 17 19 23 29 31 37 41 43 47 53 59 Nf (p) 00111011200101013 There does not appear to be any obvious pattern (and we should know not to expect one, the Galois group lurking behind the scenes is nonabelian).

In 1994 Wiles proves Fermat last theorem[9,10]. Conclusion:Jiang proof(1991) is direct and simple,but Wiles proof(1994) is indirect and complex.If China mathematicians had supported and recognized Jiang proof on Fermat last theorem,Wiles would not have proved Fermat last theorem,because in 1991 Jiang had proved Fermat last theorem.Wiles has received many prizes and awards,he should thank China mathematicians. - Automorphic Functions And Fermat’s Last Theorem（3） (Fermat’s Proof of FLT) 1 Chun-Xuan Jiang P.

    Introduction to L-functions: Dedekind zeta functions Paul Voutier CIMPA-ICTP Research School, Nesin Mathematics Village June 2017 Dedekind zeta function Definition Let K be a number field. We define for Re(s) > 1 the Dedekind zeta function ζK (s) of K by the formula X −s ζK (s) = NK=Q(a) ; a where the sum is over all non-zero integral ideals, a, of OK . Euler product exists: Y −s −1 ζK (s) = 1 − NK=Q(p) ; p where the product extends over all prime ideals, p, of OK .

Proof: −n Y −s −1 Y 1 jζ (s)j = 1 − N (p) ≤ 1 − = ζ(σ)n; K K=Q pσ p p since there are at most n = [K : Q] many primes p lying above each rational prime p and NK=Q(p) ≥ p.

    And Siegel's Theorem We Used Positivi

    Math 259: Introduction to Analytic Number Theory A nearly zero-free region for L(s; χ), and Siegel's theorem We used positivity of the logarithmic derivative of ζq to get a crude zero-free region for L(s; χ). Better zero-free regions can be obtained with some more effort by working with the L(s; χ) individually. The situation is most satisfactory for 2 complex χ, that is, for characters with χ = χ0. (Recall that real χ were also the characters that gave us the most difficulty6 in the proof of L(1; χ) = 0; it is again in the neighborhood of s = 1 that it is hard to find a good zero-free6 region for the L-function of a real character.) To obtain the zero-free region for ζ(s), we started with the expansion of the logarithmic derivative ζ 1 0 (s) = Λ(n)n s (σ > 1) ζ X − − n=1 and applied the inequality 1 0 (z + 2 +z ¯)2 = Re(z2 + 4z + 3) = 3 + 4 cos θ + cos 2θ (z = eiθ) ≤ 2 it iθ s to the phases z = n− = e of the terms n− . To apply the same inequality to L 1 0 (s; χ) = χ(n)Λ(n)n s; L X − − n=1 it it we must use z = χ(n)n− instead of n− , obtaining it 2 2it 0 Re 3 + 4χ(n)n− + χ (n)n− : ≤ σ Multiplying by Λ(n)n− and summing over n yields L0 L0 L0 0 3 (σ; χ ) + 4 Re (σ + it; χ) + Re (σ + 2it; χ2) : (1) ≤ − L 0 − L − L 2 Now we see why the case χ = χ0 will give us trouble near s = 1: for such χ the last term in (1) is within O(1) of Re( (ζ0/ζ)(σ + 2it)), so the pole of (ζ0/ζ)(s) at s = 1 will undo us for small t .

    THE LEAST PRIME IDEAL IN A GIVEN IDEAL CLASS NASER T. SARDARI Abstract. Let K be a number field with the discriminant DK and the class number hK , which has bounded degree over Q. By assuming GRH, we prove that every ideal class of K contains a prime ideal with norm less 2 2 than hK log(DK ) and also all but o(hK ) of them have a prime ideal with 2+ǫ norm less than hK log(DK ) . For imaginary quadratic fields K = Q(√D), by assuming Conjecture 1.2 (a weak version of the pair correlation conjecure), we improve our bounds by removing a factor of log(D) from our bounds and show that these bounds are optimal.

    Class Number Formula for Dihedral Extensions 2

    CLASS NUMBER FORMULA FOR DIHEDRAL EXTENSIONS LUCA CAPUTO AND FILIPPO A. E. NUCCIO MORTARINO MAJNO DI CAPRIGLIO Abstract. We give an algebraic proof of a class number formula for dihedral extensions of number fields of degree 2q, where q is any odd integer. Our formula expresses the ratio of class numbers as a ratio of orders of cohomology groups of units and allows one to recover similar formulas which have appeared in the literature. As a corollary of our main result we obtain explicit bounds on the (finitely many) possible values which can occur as ratio of class numbers in dihedral extensions. Such bounds are obtained by arithmetic means, without resorting to deep integral representation theory. 1. Introduction Let k be a number field and let M/k be a finite Galois extension. For a subgroup H Gal(M/k), let χH denote the rational character of the permutation representation defined by the Gal(M/k)-set⊆ Gal(M/k)/H. If M/k is non-cyclic, then there exists a relation n χ =0 H · H XH where nH Z are not all 0 and H runs through the subgroups of Gal(M/k). Using the formalism of Artin L-functions∈ and the formula for the residue at 1 of the Dedekind zeta-function, Brauer showed in [Bra51] that the above relation translates into the following formula nH H nH wM (1.1) (hM H ) = RM H YH YH where, for a number field E, hE, RE, wE denote the class number, the regulator and the order of the group of roots of unity of E, respectively.
