Bost-Connes systems associated with function fields

Abstract: With a global function field K with constant field F_q, a finite set S of primes in K and an abelian extension L of K, finite or infinite, we associate a C*-dynamical system. The systems, or at least their underlying groupoids, defined earlier by Jacob using the ideal action on Drinfeld modules and by Consani-Marcolli using commensurability of K-lattices are isomorphic to particular cases of our construction. We prove a phase transition theorem for our systems and show that the unique KMS_�eta-state for every 0<�etale1 gives rise to an ITPFI-factor of type III_{q^{-�eta n}}, where n is the degree of the algebraic closure of F_q in L. Therefore for n=+infty we get a factor of type III_0. Its flow of weights is a scaled suspension flow of the translation by the Frobenius element on Gal(�ar F_q/F_q).

Summary: With a global function field \(K\) with constant field \(\mathbb{F}_q\), a finite set \(S\) of primes in \(K\) and an abelian extension \(L\) of \(K\), finite or infinite, we associate a \(C^*\)-dynamical system. The systems, or at least their underlying groupoids, defined earlier by \textit{B. Jacob} [J. Noncommut. Geom. 1, No.~2, 141--211 (2007; Zbl 1176.46061)] using the ideal action on Drinfeld modules and by \textit{C. Consani} and \textit{M. Marcolli} [J. Number Theory 123, No.~2, 487--528 (2007; Zbl 1160.11043)] using commensurability of \(K\)-lattices are isomorphic to particular cases of our construction. We prove a phase transition theorem for our systems and show that the unique KMS\(_\beta\)-state for every \(0<\beta\leq1\) gives rise to an ITPFI-factor (ITPFI stands for ``infinite tensor product of finite type I factors) of type III\(_{q^{-\beta n}}\), where \(n\) is the degree of the algebraic closure of \(\mathbb{F}_q\) in \(L\). Therefore, for \(n=+\infty\), we get a factor of type III\(_0\). Its flow of weights is a scaled suspension flow of the translation by the Frobenius element on Gal\((\bar{\mathbb{F}}_q/\mathbb{F}_q)\).
