Introduction.
X : a projective smooth variety over a finite field k = Fq p := ch(k)
ζ(X, s) : Hasse -Weil zeta function of X := Y
x∈X0 (1− N(x)−s)−1,
where X0 := the set of closed points on X, and N(x) := ](κ(x)).
Then we have the determinant presentation (d := dim(X), ` 6= p):
ζ(X, s) = Y2d
i=0 det(1− F∗·q−s; Hi´et(Xk,Q`))(−1)i+1 (F∗ : geometric Frobenius operator)
= P`1(q−s) · P`3(q−s)· · ·P`2d−1(q−s)
P`0(q−s) ·P`2(q−s)· · ·P`2d−2(q−s) · P`2d(q−s) with P`i(T) := det(1 − F∗·T; H´eti (Xk,Q`)).
• ζ(X, s) is a rational function in q−s with Q-coefficients, because we have Q`(T) ∩ Q((T)) = Q(T).
• The reciprocal roots of P`i(T) are algebraic integers whose com- plex absolute values are qi/2. Hence P`i(T) is independent of
` 6= p and belongs to Z[T]. (Deligne)
Theorem 1. (Artin-Tate/Milne/Bayer-Neukirch/Schneider) Let n be an integer. Assume the semi-simplicity of F∗ on
H´et2n(Xk,Q`) for all ` 6= p, and H2ncris(X).
Let ρn be the (positive) integer such that ζ(X, s) · (1 − qn−s)ρn tends to a non-zero constant as s → n. Then the limit
s→nlim ζ(X, s) · (1− qn−s)ρn is written in terms of the cohomology groups
Hi´et(X,Z(n)) :=c Y
all `
Hi´et(X,Z`(n))
with i = 1,2, . . . ,2d + 1, and a certain regulator term.
(Hi´et(X,Z`(n))’s will be explained below.) Problem:
◦ Construct {H´eti (X,Z(n))}c i,n for arithmetic schemes X.
◦ Find zeta-value formulae for arithmetic schemes.
Results:
X : regular arithmetic scheme (with some assumption),
• Definition of the coefficient Tr(n)X ∈ Db(X´et,Z/prZ) playing the role of Z/prZ(n).
• Duality for H´eti (X,Tr(n)X) (in case X is proper).
§1 Reveiw on ´etale cohomology groups over a field
• ´etale topology = algebraic analogue of analytic topology on complex manifolds
Example. For a variety X over C and a torsion sheaf F on X´et, H´et∗ (X,F) ' H∗an(X(C)an,F|X(C)an).
• ´etale over a field k = finite separable over k Example. (1) For a sheaf F on Spec(k)´et,
H∗´et(Spec(k),F) ' H∗Gal(Gk,F(ksep)).
(2) For a variety X over k and a sheaf F on X´et, Gk naturally acts on H´et∗ (Xk,F|X
k) and ∃ spectral sequence E2p,q = HpGal(Gk,H´etq (Xk,F|X
k)) =⇒ Hp+q´et (X,F) (Hochshild-Serre spectral sequence)
Definition 2. Let n be an integer.
(1) X scheme
m positive integer invertible on X
µm ´etale sheaf of mth roots of unity on X We define:
Z/mZ(n) :=
µ⊗nm (n ≥ 0)
Hom(µ⊗(−n)m ,Z/mZ) (n < 0).
(2) k perfect field of characteristic p > 0 X smooth variety over k
WrΩnX,log logarithmic part of WrΩnX on X´et (Illusie) Note: • WrΩnX,log := 0, if n < 0 or dim(X) < n.
• WrΩnX,log is a flat Z/prZ-sheaf and
0 → Wr−1ΩnX,log → WrΩnX,log → W1ΩnX,log → 0 (exact).
• W1ΩnX,log ' ΩnX,log := Im(dlog : (OX×)⊗n −→ ΩnX/k).
Then we define
Z/prZ(n) := WrΩnX,log[−n].
(3) In the situation of (2), the group H´eti (X,Z(n)) is defined asc lim←−
(m,p)=1
Hi´et(X,Z/mZ(n)) × lim←−
r≥1
Hi´et(X,Z/prZ(n)).
Remark. For a projective smooth variety X over a finite field k, the group H´eti (X,Z(n)) is finite forc i 6= 2n,2n + 1, and the group H´et2n(X,Z(n))c tors is finite. The group H2n+1´et (X,Z(n))c tors is finite as well under the semi-simplicity assumption in Theorem 1.
In what follows, we restrict our attentions to finite coefficient cases and review duality facts for varieties over finite fields.
X : smooth variety over a finite field k d := dim(X)
Theorem 3. (Poincar´e-Pontryagin duality)
Let m be a positive integer prime to ch(k). Then:
(1) ∃ canonical trace map H2d+1c (X, µ⊗dm ) ' Z/mZ.
(2) For a constructible Z/mZ-sheaf F on X´et, the pairing Hic(X,F) × Ext2d+1−iX,Z/mZ(F, µ⊗dm ) −→ Z/mZ
is a non-degenerate pairing of finite Z/mZ-modules, for ∀i.
Here, F constructible := ∃ finite partition X = ∪j Zj
by locally closed subschemes such that F|Zj is locally constant with finite stalks Corollary 4. For any integers n and i, the pairing
Hic(X, µ⊗nm ) × H´et2d+1−i(X, µ⊗d−nm ) −→ Z/mZ is a non-degenerate pairing of finite Z/mZ-modules.
Proof. We have
Ext∗X,Z/mZ(µ⊗nm , µ⊗dm ) ' Ext∗X,Z/mZ(Z/mZ, µ⊗d−nm ) ' H∗´et(X, µ⊗d−nm ).
Theorem 5. (Milne duality)
Let r be a positive integer. Suppose X to be proper. Then:
(1) ∃ canonical trace map H´etd+1(X, WrΩdX,log) ' Z/prZ.
(2) For any integers n and i, the pairing
H´eti (X, WrΩnX,log) × Hd+1−i´et (X, WrΩd−nX,log) −→ Z/prZ is a non-degenerate pairing of finite Z/prZ-modules.
Key point: Construction of the trace map
(then reduced to the case r = 1 and the Serre duality by the theory of Cartier operators).
Theorem 6. (Moser)
(1) ∃ canonical trace map Hd+1c (X, WrΩdX,log) ' Z/prZ.
(2) For a constructible Z/prZ-sheaf F on X´et, the pairing Hic(X,F) × Extd+1−iX,Z/prZ(F, WrΩdX,log) −→ Z/prZ
is a non-degenerate pairing of finite Z/prZ-modules, for ∀i.
Note:
• Theorem 5 (2) does not immediately imply Theorem 6.
• Theorem 6 recovers Theorem 5 (2) only in case n = 0.
Combining Theorem 3 – Theorem 6, we obtain:
Fact 7.
Let m be a positive integer. Then:
(1) ∃ canonical trace map H2d+1c (X,Z/mZ(d)) ' Z/mZ.
(2) For a constructible Z/mZ-sheaf F on X´et, the pairing Hic(X,F) × Ext2d+1−iX,Z/prZ(F,Z/mZ(d)) −→ Z/mZ
is a non-degenerate pairing of finite Z/mZ-modules, for ∀i.
(3) In case X is proper, for any integers n and i, the pairing Hi´et(X,Z/mZ(n)) × H2d+1−i´et (X,Z/mZ(d − n)) −→ Z/mZ
is a non-degenerate pairing of finite Z/mZ-modules.
Remark. For a map f : X → X0 of smooth varieties over k,
∃ a canonical pull-back map
f∗Z/mZ(n)X0 −→ Z/mZ(n)X.
It is an isomorphism in the following cases (but not, otherwise):
• f is ´etale,
• (m,ch(k)) = 1,
• n ≤ 0,
• max{dim(X),dim(X0)} < n.
§2 Construction of p-adic ´etale Tate twists p : prime number, r : positive integer A : algebraic integer ring or p-adic integer ring
X : integral regular scheme flat of finite type over Spec(A), satisfying:
(∗) X is smooth or a semistable family over Spec(A) around the fibers of characteristic p.
For n ≥ 0, we want K ∈ Db(X´et,Z/prZ) satisfying (T1)–(T4) (=variant of Beilinson-Lichtenbaum axioms for ‘Z(n)’ on X´et):
T1: ∃ t : K|V ' µ⊗npr , where V := X[1/p].
T2: K is concentrated in [0, n].
T3: For a locally closed regular subscheme i : Z → X of characteristic p, we have a Gysin isomorphism:
Gysni : WrΩn−cZ,log[−n − c] −−→' τ≤n+cRi!K (c := codimX(Z)) in Db(Z´et,Z/prZ), where WrΩn−cZ,log := 0 if n < c.
T4: A compatibility property between Gysin maps and boundary maps of Galois cohomology groups.
Precise statement of T4:
Consider points y and x on X satisfying
ch(x) = p, x ∈ {y} and codimX(x) = codimX(y) + 1.
Put c := codimX(x). (Note that ch(y) = 0 or p.)
Then the following diagram commutes up to a sign depending only on (ch(y), c):
Hn−c+1´et (y,Z/prZ(n − c+ 1)) −−→∂val Hn−c´et (x,Z/prZ(n − c))
Gysniy
y
yGysnix
Hn+c−1y,´et (Spec(OX,y),K) −−→δloc Hn+cx,´et(Spec(OX,x),K), where
∂val : boundary map of Galois cohomology groups (Kato) δloc : boundary map of a localization sequence
ix : x → Spec(OX,x) iy : y → Spec(OX,y)
Gysnix : Gysin map coming from (T3) Gysniy :
Gysin map coming from (T3), if ch(y) = p, Gysin map coming from (T1) and
Deligne’s cycle class, if ch(y) = 0.
Theorem I. For a fixed n ≥ 0, ∃! a pair of K ∈ Db(X´et,Z/prZ) and
t : K |V ' µ⊗npr
that satisfies T2–T4 as above.
Definition. (originally due to Schneider in the smooth case) For n ≥ 0, fix a pair (K, t) as in Theorem 1,
and define Tr(n)X := K (∈ Db(X´et,Z/prZ)).
For n < 0, define Tr(n)X := j! Hom
Ã
µ⊗(−n)pr ,Z/prZ
!
. Remark:
• For n > d := dim(X), t induces Tr(n)X ' Rj∗µ⊗npr .
• If X → Spec(A) is smooth around Y(:= union of the fibers of characteristic p) and p ≥ n + 2, then Tr(n)X|Y is isomorphic to the syntomic complex ‘Sr(n)’ of Fontaine-Messing (by a result of Kurihara).
• Tr(n)X is not a log syntomic complex of Kato-Tsuji for 1 ≤ n ≤ dim(X), because the latter object is rather τ≤nRj∗µ⊗npr .
• For the ´etale sheafification Z(n)´etX of the cycle complex defining higher Chow groups, one can hope Z(n)´etX ⊗L Z/prZ ' Tr(n)X. However, to prove this, we need to show T2 and T3 for the left hand side.
Theorem II. (Product and Contravariant functoriality) (1) For integers m and n, ∃! a morphism
Tr(m)X ⊗L Tr(n)X −→ Tr(m + n)X.
in D−(X´et,Z/prZ) extending the natural isomorphism µ⊗mpr ⊗ µ⊗npr −→' µ⊗m+npr on V = X[1/p].
(2) For a map f : X → X0 of Spec(A)-schemes satisfying (∗), ∃!
a morphism
resf : f∗Tr(n)X0 −→ Tr(n)X.
in D−(X´et,Z/prZ) extending the natural isomorphism g∗µ⊗npr,V0 −→' µ⊗npr,V on V.
where g denotes V → V0 := X0[1/p].
Remark. The morphism resf is an isomorphism in the following cases (but not, otherwise):
• f is ´etale,
• (m,ch(k)) = 1,
• n ≤ 0,
• max{dim(X),dim(X0)} < n.
§3 Duality for arithmetic schemes A : algebraic integer ring
Theorem. (Artin-Verdier duality)
(1) ∃ canonical trace map H3c(Spec(A),Gm) ' Q/Z.
(2) For a constructible sheaf F on Spec(A)´et, the pairing Hic(Spec(A),F) × Ext3−iSpec(A)(F,Gm) −→ Q/Z
is a non-degenerate pairing of finite abelian groups, for ∀i.
Remark.
• This duality is deduced from the Tate duality theorems for global fields and local fields.
• Generalized to ‘Z-constructible’ sheaves. (Deninger)
• Generalized to two-dimensional arithmetic schemes, replacingGm with a modified version of Lichtenbaum complex Z(2). (Spieß)
Corollary. (Duality outside of characteristic p)
Let V be an integral regular scheme which is flat separated of finite type over Spec(A[1/p]). Put d := dim(V). Then:
(1) ∃ canonical trace map H2d+1c (V, µ⊗dpr ) ' Z/prZ.
(2) For a constructible Z/prZ-sheaf F on V´et, the pairing Hic(V,F) × Ext2d+1−iV,Z/prZ(F, µ⊗dpr ) −→ Z/prZ
is a non-degenerate pairing of finite Z/prZ-modules, for ∀i.
Proof. • The case d = 1: By the Kummer sequence µpr −→ Gm −→ Gm −→ µpr[1], reduced to the Artin-Verdier duality.
• The general case: f : V → Spec(A[1/p]) structure map.
We have a canonical isomorphism:
trf : µ⊗dpr [2(d − 1)] −−→' Rf!µpr in D+(V´et,Z/prZ) (Poincar´e duality + absolute purity (Thomason-Gabber)).
Hence by Deligne’s duality
Rf∗RHomV,Z/prZ(F, Rf!µpr) = RHomSpec(A[1/p]),Z/prZ(Rf!F, µpr), reduced to the 1-dimensional case.
A remains to be global. Let X → Spec(A) be as in §2.
Suppose X to be separated, and put d := dim(X).
Theorem III. (Jannsen - Saito - S)
(1) ∃ canonical trace map H2d+1c (X,Tr(d)X) ' Z/prZ.
(2) For a constructible Z/prZ-sheaf F on X´et, the pairing Hic(X,F) × Ext2d+1−iX,Z/prZ(F,Tr(d)X) −→ Z/prZ
is a non-degenerate pairing of finite Z/prZ-modules, for ∀i.
Proof. • The case d = 1: By the Kummer sequence Tr(1)X −→ Gm −→ Gm −→ Tr(1)X[1], reduced to the Artin-Verdier duality.
• The general case: Glue the relative trace map for X[1/p] → Spec(A[1/p]) with those of fibers of characteristic p, and prove the isomorphism in D+(X´et,Z/prZ):
trf : Tr(d)X[2(d − 1)] −−→' Rf!Tr(1)Spec(A).
Then by the same argument as the previous corollary, reduced to the case X = Spec(A).
Theorem IV. (S)
Suppose that X is proper over Spec(A). Then for any integers n and i, the pairing (coming from Theorems II and III (1))
Hic(X,Tr(n)X) × H2d+1−i´et (X,Tr(d −n)X) −→ Z/prZ is a non-degenerate pairing of finite Z/prZ-modules.
Proof. V := X[1/p], Y := union of fibers of characteristic p.
The case n < 0: the previous corollary.
The case n ≥ 0: By the exact sequences
· · · → Hic(X, j!µ⊗npr ) → Hic(X,Tr(n)X) → Hi´et(Y,Tr(n)X|Y) → · · · ,
· · · →HiY,´et0 (X,Tr(d−n)X) →Hi´et0(X,Tr(n)X) →H´eti0(V, µ⊗d−npr ) → · · ·
with i0 := 2d + 1 − i and by the previous corollary, reduced to the following theorem:
Theorem V. (S)
Suppose that A is local and that X is proper over Spec(A).
(1) ∃ canonical trace map H2d+1Y,´et (X,Tr(d)X) ' Z/prZ.
(2) For any integers n ≥ 0 and i, the pairing
H´eti (X,Tr(n)X) × H2d+1−iY,´et (X,Tr(d − n)X) −→ Z/prZ is a non-degenerate pairing of finite Z/prZ-modules.
Proof. (smooth case, for simplicity)
The case n > d : Tate duality for K := Frac(A) and Poincar´e duality for VK = X ⊗A K The case n = 0 : Milne duality for Y
The case 0 < n ≤ d : Reduced to the case r = 1 and ζp ∈ A.
Let ι : Y → X be the canonical map.
By the Bloch-Kato theorem on Rqj∗µ⊗qp , the cohomology sheaves of Z/pZ(n) and Rι!Z/pZ(d − n) are extensions of
Ω∗Y, dΩ∗Y, Ω∗Y,log.
A key step is to show that the induced pairing on those pieces are the same as the wedge product of differential forms up to a non-zero constant (explicit formula).
§4 Consequences of duality results
Let p, A and X be as in Theorems IV or V. Put d := dim(X).
Corollary.
Suppose that A is local. Put V := X[1/p] = X ⊗A Frac(A).
Define the ‘unramified part’ Hiur(V, µ⊗npr ) as
KerµH´eti (V, µ⊗npr ) −→ Hi+1Y,´et(X,Tr(n)X)¶. Then under the non-degenerate pairing
H´eti (V, µ⊗npr ) × H2d−i´et (V, µ⊗d−npr ) −→ Z/prZ,
the subgroups Hiur(V, µ⊗npr ) and H2d−iur (V, µ⊗d−npr ) are exact annihi- lators of each other.
Corollary. (Lichtenbaum)
Suppose that A is local and d = 2. (i.e., V is a curve.) Then ∃ canonical non-degenerate pairing of finite groups:
Pic(V)/pr × prBr(V) −→ Z/prZ.
Proof. Follows from the previous corollary and the equality Pic(V)/pr = H2ur(V, µpr) ( ⊂ H´et2 (V, µpr) ).
Corollary. (Tate/Cassels/Saito)
Suppose that A is global, d = 2 and p ≥ 3.
(i.e., X is an arithmetic surface.)
Define Br(X)p-cotor := Br(X){p}/(Br(X){p})Div (finite group).
Then ∃ canonical non-degenerate alternating pairing
h , i : Br(X)p-cotor × Br(X)p-cotor −→ Qp/Zp. In particular, the order of Br(X)p-cotor is a square number.
Proof. Decompose the non-degenerate pairing (Theorem IV) H´et2 (X,TQp/Zp(1)) × H3´et(X,TZp(1)) −→ H5´et(X,TQp/Zp(2))

Qp/Zp and compute signs of cup products
§5 Euler-Poincar´e characteristics Let A, X and p be as in Theorem IV.
Problem.
◦ For fixed i and n, is dimQpHi´et(X,TQp(n)X) independent of p?
Concerning this problem, we have the following weaker result:
Theorem VI. Put
χ(X,TQp(n)) := X∞
i=0 (−1)i · dimQp Hi´et(X,TQp(n)X), χD(X/R,R(n)) := X∞
i=0 (−1)i · dimR HiD(X/R,R(n)), where H∗D(X/R,R(n)) denotes the real Deligne cohomology of XC/Z := X ⊗Z C:
H∗D(X/R,R(n)) := H∗an(XC/Z(C)an,R(n)D)Gal(C/R). Then we have
χ(X,TQp(n)) = χD(X/R,R(n)).
In particular, χ(X,TQp(n)) is independent of p for which p-adic
´etale Tate twists are defined.
