چکیده
In the beginning of 1998 Gerard van de Geer and René Schoof posted a beautiful preprint (cf. [2]). Among other things in this preprint they defined exactly h(L) for Arakelov line bundles L on an “arithmetic curve”, i.e. a number field. The main advantage of their definition was that they got an exact analog of the Riemann-Roch formula h(L) − h0(K−L) = degL+1−g. Before that h(L) was defined as an integer and the Riemann-Roch formula only existed for χ(L) (cf. [6]). However van de Geer and Schoof gave no interpretation for h(L) except via duality. They indicated this as one of the missing blocks of their theory. In this paper we go even further to develop the interpretations for H(L) and H(L) as well as their dimensions. The main features of our theory are the following. 1) H is defined by a procedure very similar to Ĉech cohomology. 2) We get separately Serre’s duality and Riemann-Roch formula without duality. 3) We get the duality of H(L) and H1(K−L) as Pontryagin duality of convolution structures. 4) The Riemann-Roch formula of van de Geer and Schoof follows automatically from our construction by an appropriate dimension function. The paper is organized as follows. In section 2 we define our basic objects (ghost-spaces) and their dimensions. In section 3 we establish the duality theory of ghost-spaces. In section 4 we apply the theory to arithmetic and obtain our main results. In section 5 we discuss possible directions in which the theory can grow. Acknowledgments.

متن کاملGalois Realizations of Classical Groups and the Middle Convolution
Up to date, the middle convolution is the most powerful tool for realizing classical groups as Galois groups over Q(t). We study the middle convolution of local systems on the punctured affine line in the setting of singular cohomology and in the setting of étale cohomology. We derive a formula to compute the topological monodromy of the middle convolution in the general case and use it to dedu...
متن کاملRing structures of mod p equivariant cohomology rings and ring homomorphisms between them
In this paper, we consider a class of connected oriented (with respect to Z/p) closed G-manifolds with a non-empty finite fixed point set, each of which is G-equivariantly formal, where G = Z/p and p is an odd prime. Using localization theorem and equivariant index, we give an explicit description of the mod p equivariant cohomology ring of such a G-manifold in terms of algebra. This makes ...
متن کاملCohomology of Arithmetic Groups and Periods of Automorphic Forms
(1) Firstly, I gave a brief introduction to the cohomology of arithmetic groups, in particular the fact that the “tempered” (informally: “near the middle dimension”’) part of the cohomology looks like the cohomology of a torus. This corresponds to §2, §3, §4 of these notes. For the reader totally unfamiliar with the cohomology of arithmetic groups, §3 might be the best thing to focus on. (2) Ne...
