Absolute zeta functions (Q2378653)

In [Proc. Japan Acad., Ser. A 82, No. 8, 141--146 (2006; Zbl 1173.14004)], the first named author has introduced a zeta function for \(\mathbb F_1\)-schemes generalizing an idea of \textit{C. Soulé}'s in [Mosc. Math. J. 4, No. 1, 217--244 (2004; Zbl 1103.14003)]. Basically, this zeta function only detects free ranks of the involved groups, so it is insensitive to torsion. In the present paper we will introduce two new kinds of zeta functions for \(\mathbb F_1\)-schemes which are sensitive to torsion, yet still preserve the information on the ranks. The first new zeta function is of Weil type, where the finite fields are replaced by the basic finite monoids. The second is of Igusa type, as inspired by the last author [Analytic number theory, Proc. Jap.-Fr. Symp., Tokyo/Jap. 1988, Lect. Notes Math. 1434, 168--177 (1990; Zbl 0707.11063)].
