Abstract

We construct the Weil-\'etale cohomology and Euler characteristics for a subclass of the class of Z\mathbb{Z}-constructible sheaves on the spectrum of the ring of integers of a totally imaginary number field. Then we show that the special value of an Artin L-function of toric type at zero is given by the Weil-\'etale Euler characteristic of an appropriate Z\mathbb{Z}-constructible sheaf up to signs. As applications of our result, we will derive some classical formulas of special values of L-functions of tori and their class numbers.
