Zeta functions and Fourier-Mukai transforms

Project description

Linking arithmetic geometry to derived categories of coherent sheaves

The zeta function of an algebraic variety over a finite field is one of the most widely studied invariants in arithmetic geometry. According to Orlov’s conjecture, the invariant can be detected by the derived category of coherent sheaves on the variety. The EU-funded ZETA-FM project aims to prove this conjecture for large classes of varieties. To achieve this, project researchers will use a wide range of arithmetic geometry techniques with ideas that have classically been used in the study of derived categories. ZETA-FM's results will provide further evidence on the convergence between the fields of arithmetic geometry and the derived categories of coherent sheaves.

Objective

Arithmetic geometry and the study of derived categories of coherent sheaves are two central areas of research in algebraic geometry. Despite their many points of contact, they have until recently remained largely disjoint.

The zeta function of an algebraic variety over a finite field is one of the most studied invariants in arithmetic geometry, and a conjecture of Orlov predicts that this invariant can be detected by the derived category of coherent sheaves on the variety. In this project, I will prove this for large classes of varieties.

To achieve this, I will enrich a wide range of techniques from arithmetic geometry with ideas that have classically been used in the study of derived categories. In this way, this project will also serve as a catalyst for further interaction between arithmetic geometry and derived categories.

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Funding Scheme

Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.

Net EU contribution

Net EU financial contribution. The sum of money that the participant receives, deducted by the EU contribution to its linked third party. It considers the distribution of the EU financial contribution between direct beneficiaries of the project and other types of participants, like third-party participants.
