Abstract

Flach and Morin constructed in (Doc. Math. 23 (2018), 1425--1560) Weil-\'etale cohomology HW,ci(X,Z(n))H^i_\text{W,c} (X, \mathbb{Z} (n)) for a proper, regular arithmetic scheme XX (i.e. separated and of finite type over SpecZ\operatorname{Spec} \mathbb{Z}) and nZn \in \mathbb{Z}. In the case when n<0n < 0, we generalize their construction to an arbitrary arithmetic scheme XX, thus removing the proper and regular assumption. The construction uses \'etale motivic cohomology groups Hi(Xeˊt,Zc(n))H^i(X_\text{\'et}, \mathbb{Z}^c(n)), as studied by Geisser (Ann. of Math. (2) 172 (2010), 1095--1126), and assumes their finite generation for n<0n < 0. We give a class of X for which finite generation is known, and hence HW,ci(X,Z(n))H^i_\text{W,c} (X, \mathbb{Z} (n)) is defined unconditionally.
