Abstract

Milne's correcting factor, which appears in the Zeta-value at s=ns=n of a smooth projective variety XX over a finite field Fq\mathbb{F}_q, is the Euler characteristic of the derived de Rham cohomology of X/ZX/\mathbb{Z} modulo the Hodge filtration FnF^n. In this note, we extend this result to arbitrary separated schemes of finite type over Fq\mathbb{F}_q of dimension at most dd, provided resolution of singularities for schemes of dimension at most dd holds. More precisely, we show that Geisser's generalization of Milne's factor, whenever it is well defined, is the Euler characteristic of the eheh-cohomology with compact support of the derived de Rham complex relative to Z\mathbb{Z} modulo FnF^n.
