Abstract

In his approach to analytic number theory C. Deninger has suggested that to the Riemann zeta function ζ^(s)\hat{\zeta}(s) (resp. the zeta function ζY(s)\zeta_Y(s) of a smooth projective curve YY over a finite field Fq\mathbb{F}_q, q=pfq=p^f)) one could possibly associate a foliated Riemannian laminated space (SQ,F,g,ϕt)(S_{\mathbb{Q}}, \mathcal{F}, g, \phi^t) (resp. (SY,F,g,ϕt)(S_Y, \mathcal{F}, g, \phi^t)) endowed with an action of a flow ϕt\phi^t whose primitive compact orbits should correspond to the primes of Q\mathbb{Q} (resp. YY). The existence of such a foliated space and flow ϕt\phi^t is still unknown except when YY is an elliptic curve (see Deninger). Being motivated by this latter case, we introduce a class of foliated laminated spaces (S=L×R+qZ,F,g,ϕt)(S=\frac{\mathcal{L}\times \R^{+*}}{q^\Z}, \mathcal{F}, g, \phi^t) where L\mathcal{L} is locally D×ZpmD\times \Z_p^m, DD being an open disk of C.\mathbb{C}. Assuming that the leafwise harmonic forms on L \mathcal{L} are locally constant transversally, we prove a Lefschetz trace formula for the flow ϕt\phi^t acting on the leafwise Hodge cohomology HτjH^j_\tau (0j20\leq j \leq 2) of (S,F)(S,\mathcal{F}) that is very similar to the explicit formula for the zeta function of a (general) smooth curve over Fq\mathbb{F}_q. We also prove that the eigenvalues of the infinitesimal generator of the action of ϕt\phi^t on Hτ1H^1_\tau have real part equal to 1/2.{1/2}. Moreover, we suggest in a precise way that the flow ϕt\phi^t should be induced by a renormalization group flow "\`a la K. Wilson". We show that when YY is an elliptic curve over Fq\mathbb{F}_q this is indeed the case.
