Abstract: We show the equivalence between Deitmar's and Toen-Vaquie's notions of schemes over F_1 (the 'field with one element'), establishing a symmetry with the classical case of schemes, seen either as spaces with a structure sheaf, or functors of points. In proving so, we also conclude some new basic results on commutative algebra of monoids.


In recent years, many authors have suggested approaches to ``Geometry over the field of one element in order to transfer methods of algebraic geometry from global function fields to number fields. See the paper [\textit{J. López Peña} and \textit{O. Lorscheid}, Noncommutative geometry, arithmetic, and related topics. Proceedings of the 21st meeting of the Japan-U.S. Mathematics Institute (JAMI) held at Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD, USA, March 23--26, 2009. Baltimore, MD: Johns Hopkins University Press. 241--265 (2011; Zbl 1271.14003)] for an overview. Two of the first attempts were made by the reviewer on the one hand and B. Toën and Michel Vacquié on the other. The current paper fills a gap in the existing literature, as it contains a proof of the equivalence of these two approaches.
