Topos points of quasi-coherent sheaves over monoid schemes

Abstract

Let XX be a monoid scheme. We will show that the stalk at any point of XX defines a point of the topos \Qc(X)\Qc(X) of quasi-coherent sheaves over XX. As it turns out, every topos point of \Qc(X)\Qc(X) is of this form if XX satisfies some finiteness conditions. In particular, it suffices for M/M×M/M^\times to be finitely generated when XX is affine, where M×M^\times is the group of invertible elements. This allows us to prove that two quasi-projective monoid schemes XX and YY are isomorphic if and only if \Qc(X)\Qc(X) and \Qc(Y)\Qc(Y) are equivalent. The finiteness conditions are essential, as one can already conclude by the work of A. Connes and C. Consani \cite{cc1}. We will study the topos points of free commutative monoids and show that already for N\mathbb{N}^\infty, there are `hidden' points. That is to say, there are topos points which are not coming from prime ideals. This observation reveals that there might be a more interesting `geometry of monoids'.
