Algebraic groups over the field with one element

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: Remarks in a paper by Jacques Tits from 1956 led to a philosophy how a theory of split reductive groups over F1, the so-called field with one element, should look like. Namely, every split reductive group over should descend to F1, and its group of F1-rational points should be its Weyl group. We connect the notion of a torified variety to the notion of F1-schemes as introduced by Connes and Consani. This yields models of toric varieties, Schubert varieties and split reductive groups as Fun-schemes. We endow the class of F1-schemes with two classes of morphisms, one leading to a satisfying notion of F1-rational points, the other leading to the notion of an algebraic group over F1 such that every split reductive group is defined as an algebraic group over F1. Furthermore, we show that certain combinatorics that are expected from parabolic subgroups of GL(n) and Grassmann varieties are realized in this theory.
