Update on CC paper

Posted by in news No comments

Alain Connes and Katia Consani have updated their paper On the notion of geometry over F_un In the revised version, they include a definition for the notion of varieties that are not affine and go a bit further adding a new section with proposals for a new notion of scheme over F_un that involves replacing [...]

F_un and group representations

Posted by in featured, research 4 comments

Grothendieck’s anabelian geometry is an example of noncommutative F_un geometry. Javier starts this series with ramblings on how the folklore about F_un can be used to relate linear and permutation representations of finite groups.

Gadgets a la Soulé

Posted by in graduate, Soule2004 3 comments

Inspired by the equivalent definition of a scheme as a particular kind of functor, Soulé gives his definition of a gadget over F_un as a couple consisting on a functor, that takes the rôle of the functor of points, and an algebra, which encodes a ‘topology at infinity’ and gives us the extra information that is missing in the functor.

The skeleton of Soulé’s F_un geometry

Posted by in featured, graduate, Soule2004 No comments

Any possible definition of a variey over F_un should have a nice extension of scalars to the integers. In particular, we might expect to be able to control the behavior of such extension for the easiest family of rings defined over F_un: its finite abelian extensions F_un^n.
