Abstract

For the Z\mathbb{Z}-lift XZX_\mathbb{Z} of a monoid scheme XX of finite type, Deitmar-Koyama-Kurokawa calculated its absolute zeta function by interpolating #XZ(Fq)\#X_\mathbb{Z}(\mathbb{F}_q) for all prime powers qq using the Fourier expansion. This absolute zeta function coincides with the absolute zeta function of a certain polynomial. In this article, we characterize the polynomial as a ceiling polynomial of the sequence (#XZ(Fq))q\left(\#X_\mathbb{Z}(\mathbb{F}_q)\right)_q, which we introduce independently. Extending this idea, we introduce a certain pair of absolute zeta functions of a separated scheme XX of finite type over Q\mathbb{Q} by means of a pair of Puiseux polynomials which estimate "#X(Fpm)\#X(\mathbb{F}_{p^m})" for sufficiently large pp. We call them the ceiling and floor Puiseux polynomials of XX. In particular, if XX is an elliptic curve, then our absolute zeta functions of XX do not depend on its isogeny class.
