We show that the notion of zeta functions over F1, as given in special cases by Soule', extends naturally to all F1-schemes as defined earlier by the author. We further give two constructions of K-theory for affine schemes or F1-rings, we…
A new interpretation of zeta functions is given for F1-schemes which do not satisfy Soul\'e's condition. Functional equations for reductive groups are computed and a new definition of zeta functions attached to more general counting…
We study topological zeta functions of complex plane curve singularities using toric modifications and further developments. As applications of the research method, we prove that the topological zeta function is a topological invariant for…
The aim of this article is to illustrate, on the example of Dwork hypersurfaces, how the study of the representation of a finite group of automorphisms of a hypersurface in its etale cohomology allows to factor its zeta function.
Studying toric varieties from a scheme-theoretical point of view leads to toric schemes, i.e. "toric varieties over arbitrary base rings". It is shown how the base ring affects the geometry of a toric scheme. Moreover, generalisations of…
In this paper we discuss some questions about geometry over the field with one element, motivated by the properties of algebraic varieties that arise in perturbative quantum field theory. We follow the approach to F1-geometry based on…
We introduce perfect resolving algebras and study their fundamental properties. These algebras are basic for our theory of differential graded schemes, as they give rise to affine differential graded schemes. We also introduce etale…
The purpose of this note is to give a brief overview on zeta functions of curve singularities and to provide some evidences on how these and global zeta functions associated to singular algebraic curves over perfect fields relate to each…
Let X be a flexible variety of F be an isomorphism of closed one-dimensional subschemes of $X$. We develop criteria which guarantee that F extends to au automorphism of X.
In algebraic geometry there is a well-known categorical equivalence between the category of normal proper integral curves over a field $k$ and the category of finitely generated field extensions of $k$ of transcendence degree $1$. In this…
This text is dedicated to Jacques Tits's ideas on geometry over F1, the field with one element. In a first part, we explain how thin Tits geometries surface as rational point sets over the Krasner hyperfield, which links these ideas to…
We make a systematic study of the infinitesimal lifting conditions of a pseudo finite type map of noetherian formal schemes. We recover the usual general properties in this context, and, more importantly, we uncover some new phenomena. We…
A toric hyperplane is the preimage of a point $x \in S^1$ of a continuous surjective group homomorphism $\theta: \mathbb{T}^n \to S^1$. A finite hyperplane arrangement is a finite collection of such hyperplanes. In this paper, we study the…
We continue our study on infinitesimal lifting properties of maps between locally noetherian formal schemes started in math.AG/0604241. In this paper, we focus on some properties which arise specifically in the formal context. In this vein,…
We introduce the crisp topology for schemes as a refinement of the fpqc topology. This Grothendieck topology uses the new notion of crisp morphisms, which generalise universal injectivity from ring homomorphisms to arbitrary morphisms of…
This paper invents the notion of torified varieties: A torification of a scheme is a decomposition of the scheme into split tori. A torified variety is a reduced scheme of finite type over $\Z$ that admits a torification. Toric varieties,…
We provide a coherent overview of a number of recent results obtained by the authors in the theory of schemes defined over the field with one element. Essentially, this theory encompasses the study of a functor which maps certain geometries…
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.
We consider the Tate cohomology of the circle group acting on the topological Hochschild homology of schemes. We show that in the case of a scheme smooth and proper over a finite field, this cohomology theory naturally gives rise to the…
In this article we consider surfaces that are general with respect to a 3- dimensional toric idealistic cluster. In particular, this means that blowing up a toric constellation provides an embedded resolution of singularities for these…
