    Finally added to fracture theorem the basic statement of the “arithmetic fracture square”, hence the following discussion.


    The number theoretic statement is the following:

    +– {: .num_prop #ArithmeticFractureSquare}

    Proposition

    The integers \mathbb{Z} are the fiber product of all the p-adic integers pprime p\underset{p\;prime}{\prod} \mathbb{Z}_p with the rational numbers \mathbb{Q} over the rationalization of the former, hence there is a pullback diagram in CRing of the form

    pprime p pprime p. \array{ && \mathbb{Q} \\ & \swarrow && \nwarrow \\ \mathbb{Q}\otimes_{\mathbb{Z}}\underset{p\;prime}{\prod} \mathbb{Z}_p && && \mathbb{Z} \\ & \nwarrow && \swarrow \\ && \underset{p\;prime}{\prod} \mathbb{Z}_p } \,.

    Equivalently this is the fiber product of the rationals with the integral adeles 𝔸 \mathbb{A}_{\mathbb{Z}} over the ring of adeles 𝔸 \mathbb{A}_{\mathbb{Q}}

    𝔸 𝔸 . \array{ && \mathbb{Q} \\ & \swarrow && \nwarrow \\ \mathbb{A}_{\mathbb{Q}} && && \mathbb{Z} \\ & \nwarrow && \swarrow \\ && \mathbb{A}_{\mathbb{Z}} } \,.

    In the context of a modern account of categorical homotopy theory this appears for instance as (Riehl 14, lemma 14.4.2).

    +– {: .num_remark}

    Remark

    Under the function field analogy we may think of

    • Spec()Spec(\mathbb{Z}) as an arithmetic curve over F1;

    • 𝔸 \mathbb{A}_{\mathbb{Z}} as the ring of functions on the formal disks around all the points in this curve;

    • \mathbb{Q} as the ring of functions on the complement of a finite number of points in the curve;

    • 𝔸 \mathbb{A}_{\mathbb{Q}} is the ring of functions on punctured formal disks around all points, at most finitely many of which do not extend to the unpunctured disk.

    Under this analogy the arithmetic fracture square of prop. \ref{ArithmeticFractureSquare} says that the curve Spec()Spec(\mathbb{Z}) has a cover whose patches are the complement of the curve by some points, and the formal disks around these points.

    This kind of cover plays a central role in number theory, see for instance thr following discussions:

    Ah, thanks, that’s an excellent point!

    I have added to the proposition here the following paragraph:

    Since the ring of adeles is the rationalization of the integral adeles 𝔸 = 𝔸 \mathbb{A}_{\mathbb{Q}} = \mathbb{Q} \otimes_{\mathbb{Z}} \mathbb{A}_{\mathbb{Z}}, this is also a pushout diagram in CRing, and in fact in topological commutative rings (for \mathbb{Q} with the discrete topology and 𝔸 \mathbb{A}_{\mathbb{Z}} with its profinite/completion topology).

    In the classical fracture square for spectra, the adic completion and the \mathbb{Q}-acyclicity-ization functors appear where in cohesion the flat modality and the shape modality appear, respectively.

    Is there any context in which adic completion becomes adjoint to rational acylitization? (Maybe a stupid question, but anyway.)

    In the single prime case, do we see H𝔽 pH \mathbb{F}_p anyway?

    I can see E=M(/p)E = M(\mathbb{Z}/p) (Moore spectrum), but I don’t see this equated in the way it is for \mathbb{Q}, i.e., we find M()=HM(\mathbb{Q}) = H \mathbb{Q}.

    So globally now we need E= pM(/p)E = \vee_p M(\mathbb{Z}/p). Is this M(/)M(\mathbb{Q}/\mathbb{Z})? From here, Strickland uses ’S’ for the Moore spectrum. So I guess that tallies with his MO answer.

    There seems to be a ’Serre’s theorem’ which states that:

    rational homology is the same as rational stable homotopy,

    and which induces an equivalence M()=HM(\mathbb{Q}) = H \mathbb{Q}.

    Thanks for all this, David! I just came online, but am again in a rush.

    The business of distinuishing Moore from EM was also an issue at localization of a space. I have tried to fix all occurences.

    Then I edited fracture theorem, added the statement that we talked about and then below that fixed the missing globalization in the top right entry of the big diagram.

    Again, I am doing all this in a rush and haven’t proof-read yet, so your careful eye might usefully be exercised further. I will be offline now for another hour or more, then I hope to come back with more leisure.

    Thanks! We should say it’s a Bousfield equivalence, I put that in now.

    Of course /\mathbb{Q}/\mathbb{Z} also comes in if one just takes the plain square

    pprime p pprime p \array{ && \mathbb{Q} \\ & \swarrow && \nwarrow \\ \mathbb{Q}\otimes_{\mathbb{Z}}\underset{p\;prime}{\prod} \mathbb{Z}_p && && \mathbb{Z} \\ & \nwarrow && \swarrow \\ && \underset{p\;prime}{\prod} \mathbb{Z}_p }

    and then extends the diagonals to their long homotopy fiber sequences in chain complexes, simply, induced from the short exact sequence

    / \mathbb{Z} \longrightarrow \mathbb{Q} \longrightarrow \mathbb{Q}/\mathbb{Z}

    I had been wondering about what to do with that, but I suppose that Bousfield equivalence S(/) B pS𝔽 pS (\mathbb{Q}/\mathbb{Z}) \simeq_B \vee_p S \mathbb{F}_p is related.

    If the hope is to put arithmetic fracturing into line with differential cohesive fracturing, presumably we’re looking for a monad/comonad pair amongst the two pairs of L EL_E and G EG_Es, and a comparison map between an acyclification and a localization.

    Yes, exactly.

    Or rather, it seems (looking at the variance of the morphisms) we should think of the homotopy-theoretic arithmetic fracture square (involving formal completion X p X_p^\wedge of spectra XX) as the image of the number-theoretic one (involving the integral adeles 𝔸 \mathbb{A}_{\mathbb{Z}}) as the image under mapping the geometric one (involving Spf(𝔸 )Spf(\mathbb{A}_{\mathbb{Z}})) into the arithmetic presheaf of spectra which is induced from XX by

    X:Spec(R)XR. X : Spec(R) \mapsto X \otimes R \,.

    For instance homming

    Spec() Spec() \array{ Spec(\mathbb{Q}) \\ & \searrow \\ && Spec(\mathbb{Z}) }

    into this would yield

    X X \array{ X_{\mathbb{Q}} \\ & \nwarrow \\ && X }

    (the top right piece of the fracture square, am too rushed now to draw all of it).

    From this point of view it would be sufficient to realize arithmetic geometry as cohesive over something, such that the flat modality forms “arithmetic jets”. A homotopy-theoretic version would then be induced by passing to sheaves of spectra and homming.

    It seems that Borger’s absolute geometry might be getting in this direction, but something is missing still.

    Thanks!

    I have now added in this remark a third item noticing that by the pasting law there is indeed an “homotopy exact two-third hexagon”

    X G S(/)(X) ( pX p ) X pX p G H(X) \array{ && X_{\mathbb{Q}} && \longleftarrow && G_{S (\mathbb{Q}/\mathbb{Z})}(X) \\ & \swarrow && \nwarrow && \swarrow \\ (\prod_p X_p^\wedge)_{\mathbb{Q}} && && X \\ & \nwarrow && \swarrow && \nwarrow \\ && \prod_p X_p^\wedge && \longleftarrow && G_{H\mathbb{Q}}(X) }

    in that it follows that also the top and bottom outer sequences are homotopy exact.

    The remaining question is then to which extent the two operations in the bottom row of the above diagram are adjoint.

    To which extent is passing to p νp^\nu-torsion adjoint to pp-completion?

    Should it not be true for suitably co-small objects which may be taken into the filtered limit which defines the completion?

    [Edit: I see something going in this direction in Porta et al.: “On the homology of completion and torsion.” ]

    Now in New York and online again, I have briefly noted the following (to be polished/expanded):


    Remark 4 suggests that arithmetic fracturing naturally goes along with adjoint pairs of (derived/(∞,1)-functorial) idempotent (co-)-monads given by formal completion and by taking torsion subgroups, respectivly.

    Whether such adjoint modalities exist for spectra…, but in (Porta-Shaul-Yekutieli 10) they are essentially shown to exist on chain complexes (hence, by the stable Dold-Kan correspondence, at least for HAH A-module spectra ).

    (Porta-Shaul-Yekutieli 10, corollary 3.30, prop. 6.10) says that for commutative rings AA with suitable (namely “weakly pro-regular”) ideals 𝔞\mathfrak{a}, then the derived 𝔞\mathfrak{a}-torsion subgroup-functor and the derived 𝔞\mathfrak{a}-completion functor on the derived category of AA-modules are idempotent via their unit/counit maps, respectively. Moreover, (Porta-Shaul-Yekutieli 10, theorem 6.12) says that the sub-categories of modal types are canonically equivalent, as befits an adjoint modality

    𝔞completion𝔞torsion. \mathfrak{a}completion \dashv \mathfrak{a}torsion \,.

    Have added here the following more formal version of the above statement (check):


    +– {: .num_defn}

    Definition

    Let AA be a commutative ring, let 𝔞A\mathfrak{a} \subset A be be an ideal generated by a single element. Write AMod opA Mod_{\infty}^{op} for the opposite (∞,1)-category of the (∞,1)-category of modules over AA.

    Write

    • 𝔞:AMod opAMod op\flat_{\mathfrak{a}}\colon A Mod_\infty^{op} \to A Mod_{\infty}^{op} for the derived functor of formal completion (adic completion) of modules at 𝔞\mathfrak{a};

      with canonical natural transformation

      ε 𝔞: 𝔞id\epsilon_{\mathfrak{a}} \colon \flat_{\mathfrak{a}} \longrightarrow id

    • Π 𝔞:AMod opAMod op\Pi_{\mathfrak{a}} \colon A Mod_\infty^{op} \to A Mod_\infty^{op} for the total derived functor of the 𝔞\mathfrak{a}-torsion subgroup-functor;

      with canonical natural transformation

      η 𝔞:idΠ 𝔞\eta_{\mathfrak{a}}\colon id \longrightarrow \Pi_{\mathfrak{a}}

    Finally write

    (AMod op) 𝔞com,(AMod op) 𝔞torAMod (A Mod_\infty^{op})^{\mathfrak{a}com}, (A Mod_\infty^{op})^{\mathfrak{a}tor} \hookrightarrow A Mod_\infty

    for the full (∞,1)-subcategories of objects XX for which, ε 𝔞(X)\epsilon_{\mathfrak{a}}(X) or η 𝔞(X)\eta_{\mathfrak{a}}(X) is an equivalence in an (∞,1)-category, respectively.

    =–

    +– {: .num_prop}

    Proposition
    1. The transformation ε 𝔞\epsilon_{\mathfrak{a}} exhibits (AMod op) 𝔞comAMod (A Mod_\infty^{op})^{\mathfrak{a}com}\hookrightarrow A Mod_\infty as a reflective (∞,1)-subcategory, hence 𝔞\flat_{\mathfrak{a}} as an idempotent (∞,1)-monad.

    2. The transformation η 𝔞\eta_{\mathfrak{a}} exhibits (AMod op) 𝔞torAMod (A Mod_\infty^{op})^{\mathfrak{a}tor}\hookrightarrow A Mod_\infty as a co-reflective (,1)(\infty,1)-category, hence Π 𝔞\Pi_{\mathfrak{a}} as an idempotent (,1)(\infty,1)-comonad.

    3. Restricted to these sub-(,1)(\infty,1)-categories both 𝔞\flat_{\mathfrak{a}} as well as Π 𝔞\Pi_{\mathfrak{a}} become equivalences of (∞,1)-categories, hence exhibiting (Π 𝔞 𝔞)(\Pi_{\mathfrak{a}} \dashv \flat_{\mathfrak{a}}) as a higher adjoint modality.

    =–

    +– {: .proof}

    Proof

    This is a paraphrase of the results in (Porta-Shaul-Yekutieli 10):

    First of all, by our simplifying assumption that 𝔞\mathfrak{a} is generated by a single element the running assumption of “weak proregularity” in (Porta-Shaul-Yekutieli 10, def.3.21) is trivially satisfied.

    Then in view of (Porta-Shaul-Yekutieli 10, corollary 3.31) the statement of (Porta-Shaul-Yekutieli 10, theorem 6.12) is the characterization of reflectors as discussed at reflective sub-(∞,1)-category, and formally dually so for the coreflection. With the fully faithfulness that goes with this the equivalence of the two inclusions on the level of homotopy categories given by (Porta-Shaul-Yekutieli 10, theorem 6.11) implies the canonical equivalence of the two sub-(∞,1)-categories and this means that Π 𝔞\Pi_{\mathfrak{a}} and 𝔞\flat_{\mathfrak{a}} are the adjoint pair induced from the reflection/coreflection adjoint triple.

    In particular remark 4.2.6 there should give that we have cohesion on E Ring opE_\infty Ring^{op} over E Ring torsion opE_\infty Ring^{op}_{torsion}, hence after passing to toposes Sh ()Sh_\infty(-) this should induce arithmetic cohesion on E E_\infty-geometry.
