We use a cohomology theory coming from the canonical trace on a C*-algebra of the projective variety to prove an analog of the Riemann Hypothesis for the Kuga-Sato varieties over finite fields.

We study Weil-etale cohomology, introduced by Lichtenbaum for varieties over finite fields. In the first half of the paper we give an explicit description of the base change from Weil-etale cohomology to etale cohomology. As a consequence,…

Following the ideas of Flach and Morin (Doc. Math. 23 (2018), 1425--1560), we state a conjecture in terms of Weil-\'etale cohomology for the vanishing order and special value of the zeta function $\zeta (X, s)$ at $s = n < 0$, where $X$ is…

We construct a cohomology theory with compact support H^i_c(X_ar,Z(n))$ for separated schemes of finite type over a finite field, which should play a role analog to Lichtenbaum's Weil-etale cohomology groups for smooth and projective…

The original article expressed the special values of the zeta function of a variety over a finite field in terms of the $\hat{Z}$-cohomology of the variety. As the article was being completed, Lichtenbaum conjectured the existence of…

Let X be a regular scheme, projective and flat over Spec \mathbb Z. We give a conjectural formula, up to sign and powers of 2, for \zeta^*(X,r), the leading term in the series expansion of \zeta(X,s) at s=r, in terms of Weil-etale motivic…

We calculate the total derived functor for the map from the Weil-etale site introduced by Lichtenbaum to the etale site for varieties over finite fields. In particular, there is a long exact sequence relating Weil-etale cohomology and etale…

We formulate two conjectures about etale cohomology and fundamental groups motivated by categoricity conjectures in model theory. One conjecture says that there is a unique Z-form of the etale cohomology of complex algebraic varieties, up…

Let $X$ be a variety over a finite field. Given an order $R$ in a semi-simple algebra over the rationals and a constructible \'etale sheaf $F$ of $R$-modules over $X$, one can consider a natural non-commutative $L$-function associated with…

We present a proof of the algorithm for computing line bundle valued cohomology classes over toric varieties conjectured by R.~Blumenhagen, B.~Jurke and the authors (arXiv:1003.5217) and suggest a kind of Serre duality for combinatorial…

The paper reviews Dwork's p-adic analytic methods used in the Weil Conjectures. The first two chapters review a version of his proof of the rationality conjecture. The rest of the paper is devoted to Dwork's original cohomological methods,…

The operation of tensor product of Cohomological Field Theories (or algebras over genus zero moduli operad) introduced in an earlier paper by the authors is described in full detail, and the proof of a theorem on additive relations between…

Huayi Chen introduces the notion of an approximable graded algebra, which he uses to prove a Fujita-type theorem in the arithmetic setting, and asked if any such algebra is the graded ring of a big line bundle on a projective variety. This…

Over a perfect field $k$ of characteristic $p > 0$, we construct a ``Witt vector cohomology with compact supports'' for separated $k$-schemes of finite type, extending (after tensorisation with $\mathbb{Q}$) the classical theory for proper…

In this paper we discuss a general notion of Weil cohomology theories, both in algebraic geometry and in rigid analytic geometry. We allow our Weil cohomology theories to have coefficients in arbitrary commutative ring spectra. Using the…

We define and study a Weil-\'etale topos for any regular, proper scheme $X$ over $\Spec(Z)$ which has some of the properties suggested by Lichtenbaum for such a topos. In particular, the cohomology with $R$-coefficients has the expected…

We construct a new Weil cohomology for smooth projective varieties over a field, universal among Weil cohomologies with values in rigid additive tensor categories. A similar universal problem for Weil cohomologies with values in rigid…

The statement of the Riemann hypothesis makes sense for all global fields, not just the rational numbers. For function fields, it has a natural restatement in terms of the associated curve. Weil's work on the Riemann hypothesis for curves…

We study the multiplicities of pure motives modulo numerical equivalence, which are defined as scalars comparing the tannakian trace with the ring-theoretic trace. Our general set-up is that of a rigid semi-simple tensor category such that…

This is an expository paper which gives a simple arithmetic introduction to the conjectures of Weil and Dwork concerning zeta functions of algebraic varieties over finite fields. A number of further open questions are raised.
