On $q$-de Rham cohomology via $\Lambda$-rings

Abstract

We show that Aomoto's qq-deformation of de Rham cohomology arises as a natural cohomology theory for Λ\Lambda-rings. Moreover, Scholze's (q1)(q-1)-adic completion of qq-de Rham cohomology depends only on the Adams operations at each residue characteristic. This gives a fully functorial cohomology theory, including a lift of the Cartier isomorphism, for smooth formal schemes in mixed characteristic equipped with a suitable lift of Frobenius. If we attach pp-power roots of qq, the resulting theory is independent even of these lifts of Frobenius, refining a comparison by Bhatt, Morrow and Scholze.
