The scaling site (Q282692)

From the abstract: ``We investigate the semi-ringed topos obtained from the arithmetic site \(\mathscr A\) by extension of scalars from the smallest Boolean semifield \(\mathbb B\) to the tropical semifield \(\mathbb R^{\max}_+\). The obtained site is the semi-direct product of the Euclidean half-line and the monoid of positive integers acting by multiplication\dots The restriction of this structure to the periodic orbits of the scaling flow gives, for each prime \(p\), an analogue of an elliptic curve...'' and continuing from the introduction: ``\dots We determine the Jacobian of the curve...and show that it is a cyclic group of order \(p-1\)\dots we define the corresponding Riemann-Roch problem\dots The appearance of arbitrary positive real numbers as continuous dimensions in this formula is due to density in \(\mathbb R \) of the subgroup of fractions with denominators a power of \(p\) and the fact that continuous diemsnions are obtained as limits of noramlized dimensions. We view this outcome as the analogue in characteristic \(1\) of what happens for matroid \(C^*\)-algebras and the type-II normalized traces [well-known in functional analysis]''.
