Abstract

The goal of this article is to develop BV (Batalin-Vilkovisky) formalism in the pp-adic Dwork theory. Based on this formalism, we explicitly construct a pp-adic dGBV algebra (differential Gerstenhaber-Batalin-Vilkovisky algebra) for a smooth projective complete intersection variety XX over a finite field, whose cohomology gives the pp-adic Dwork cohomology of XX, and its cochain endomorphism (the pp-adic Dwork Frobenius operator) which encodes the information of the zeta function XX. As a consequence, we give a modern deformation theoretic interpretation of Dwork's theory of the zeta function of XX and derive a formula for the pp-adic Dwork Frobenius operator in terms of homotopy Lie morphisms and the Bell polynomials.

23 pages; this second version is a major revision of the first version in the sense that its main emphasis moves to the interplay between physical theory (BV formalism) and number theory (Dwork theory of zeta functions)
