A Trace Formula for Varieties over a Discretely Valued Field
نویسنده
چکیده
We study the motivic Serre invariant of a smoothly bounded algebraic or rigid variety X over a complete discretely valued field K with perfect residue field k. If K has characteristic zero, we extend the definition to arbitrary K-varieties using Bittner’s presentation of the Grothendieck ring and a process of Néron smoothening of pairs of varieties. The motivic Serre invariant can be considered as a measure for the set of unramified points on X. Under certain tameness conditions, it admits a cohomological interpretation by means of a trace formula. In the curve case, we use T. Saito’s geometric criterion for cohomological tameness to obtain more detailed results. We discuss some applications to Weil-Châtelet groups, Chow motives, and the structure of the Grothendieck ring of varieties. MSC 2000: 11S15, 14G05, 14G22

Trace Formula for Component Groups of Néron Models
We study a trace formula for tamely ramified abelian varieties A over a complete discretely valued field, which expresses the Euler characteristic of the special fiber of the Néron model of A in terms of the Galois action on the l-adic cohomology of A. If A has purely additive reduction, the trace formula yields a cohomological interpretation for the number of connected components of the specia...
متن کاملMotivic Invariants of Algebraic Tori
We prove a trace formula and a global form of Denef and Loeser’s motivic monodromy conjecture for tamely ramified algebraic tori over a discretely valued field. If the torus has purely additive reduction, the trace formula gives a cohomological interpretation for the number of components of the Néron model.
متن کاملA Trace Formula for Rigid Varieties, and Motivic Weil Generating Series for Formal Schemes
We establish a trace formula for rigid varieties X over a complete discretely valued field of equicharacteristic zero, which relates the set of unramified points on X to the Galois action on its étale cohomology. Next, we show that the analytic Milnor fiber of a morphism f at a point x completely determines the analytic germ of f at x. We develop a theory of motivic integration for formal schem...
متن کاملThe period-index problem in WC-groups IV: a local transition theorem
Let K be a complete discretely valued field with perfect residue field k. Assuming upper bounds on the relation between period and index for WC-groups over k, we deduce corresponding upper bounds on the relation between period and index for WC-groups over K. Up to a constant depending only on the dimension of the torsor, we recover theorems of Lichtenbaum and Milne in a “duality free” context. ...
