Abstract

Let X be a regular scheme, projective and flat over the integers. Let A be the constant in the conjectured functional equation for the zeta-function of X. We give a conjecture computing A in terms of Euler characteristics of derived exterior powers of the sheaf of Kahler differentials on X, and prove this conjecture when the dimension of X is 1 or 2. This conjecture essentially says that the formulas for the special values of the zeta-function of X given by the author in a previous preprint are compatible with the functional equation.
