Differential forms on arithmetic jet spaces

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We study derivations and differential forms on the arithmetic jet spaces of smooth schemes, relative to several primes. As applications we give a new interpretation of arithmetic Laplacians and we discuss the de Rham cohomology of some specific arithmetic jet spaces.


Arithmetic jet spaces can be attached to smooth schemes, relative to one prime or to multiple primes. One may view these spaces as arithmetic analogue of jet spaces in differential geometry. The tangent and cotangent bundles on these spaces admit various structures similar to those in classical mechanics. This article extends the results of [\textit{A. Buium}, Arithmetic differential equations. Mathematical Surveys and Monographs 118. Providence, RI: American Mathematical Society (AMS). (2005; Zbl 1088.14001)] on tangent and cotangent bundles on arithmetic jet spaces from the case of one prime to the case of several primes. The authors give a new interpretation of arithmetic Laplacians and they discuss the de Rham cohomology of some arithmetic jet spaces. In particular, they investigate the case of arithmetic jet spaces of the multiplicative group, an affine open of an elliptic curve or a \(K3\) surface.
