The theory of Lambda-rings, in the sense of Grothendieck's Riemann-Roch theory, is an enrichment of the theory of commutative rings. In the same way, we can enrich usual algebraic geometry over the ring Z of integers to produce Lambda-algebraic geometry. We show that Lambda-algebraic geometry is in a precise sense an algebraic geometry over a deeper base than Z and that it has many properties predicted for algebraic geometry over the mythical field with one element. Moreover, it does this is a…

A Zariski--Nagata theorem for smooth ℤ-algebras

Abstract In a polynomial ring over a perfect field, the symbolic powers of a prime ideal can be described via differential operators: a classical result by Zariski and Nagata says that the n-th…

A Zariski-Nagata theorem for smooth $\mathbb{Z}$-algebras

In a polynomial ring over a perfect field, the symbolic powers of a prime ideal can be described via differential operators: a classical result by Zariski and Nagata says that the $n$-th symbolic…

The basic geometry of Witt vectors. II: Spaces

This is an account of the algebraic geometry of Witt vectors and arithmetic jet spaces. The usual, “p-typical” Witt vectors of p-adic schemes of finite type are already reasonably well understood.…

Explicit class field theory and the algebraic geometry of $\Lambda$-rings

We consider generalized $\Lambda$-structures on algebras and schemes over the ring of integers $\mathit{O}_K$ of a number field $K$. When $K=\mathbb{Q}$, these agree with the $\lambda$-ring…

G-Theory of \F_1-Algebras I: the Equivariant Nishida Problem

We develop a version of G-theory for \F_1-algebras and establish its first properties. We construct a Cartan assembly map to compare the Chu-Morava K-theory for finite pointed groups with our…

Noncommutative Geometry and Arithmetic

This is an overview of recent results aimed at developing a geometry of noncommutative tori with real multiplication, with the purpose of providing a parallel, for real quadratic fields, of the…

Quadratic enrichment of the logarithmic derivative of the zeta function

We define an enrichment of the logarithmic derivative of the zeta function of a variety over a finite field to a power series with coefficients in the Grothendieck--Witt group. We show that this…

Galois theory and integral models of Λ‐rings

We show that any Λ‐ring, in the sense of Riemann–Roch theory, which is finite étale over the rational numbers and has an integral model as a Λ‐ring is contained in a product of cyclotomic fields. In…

The basic geometry of Witt vectors, I: The affine case

We give a concrete description of the category of etale algebras over the ring of Witt vectors of a given finite length with entries in an arbitrary ring. We do this not only for the classical…

New Approach to Arakelov Geometry

This work is dedicated to a new completely algebraic approach to Arakelov geometry, which doesn't require the variety under consideration to be generically smooth or projective. In order to construct…

Under Spec Z

We use techniques from relative algebraic geometry and homotopical algebraic geometry in order to construct several categories of schemes defined "under Spec Z". We define this way the categories of…

Algebraic Stacks Whose Number of Points over Finite Fields is a Polynomial

The aim of this article is to investigate the cohomology (l-adic as well as Betti) of schemes, and more generally of certain algebraic stacks, that are proper and smooth over the integers and have…

The basic geometry of Witt vectors

This is an account of the étale topology of generalized Witt vectors. Its purpose is to develop some foundational material needed in Λalgebraic geometry. The theory of the usual, “p-typical” Witt…

Geometry of Fermat adeles

If L(a, s) := Σ n c(n,a)n -s is a family of geometric L-functions depending on a parameter a, then the function (p, a) → c(p, a), where p runs through the set of prime integers, is not a rational…

On the notion of geometry over $\F_1$

We refine the notion of variety over the "field with one element" developed by C. Soul\'e by introducing a grading in the associated functor to the category of sets, and show that this notion becomes…
