Number fields as curves over $\mathbf{F}_1$

RESUMO

We study function fields in one variable over the field with one element $\mathbf{F}_1$. It is proved that the Galois extensions of $\mathbf{Q}$ are isomorphic to the curves over $\mathbf{F}_1$ being understood as the Deitmar schemes. Specifically, one gets explicit formulas linking the genus and the number of cusps of an algebraic curve over the extension $\mathbf{F}_{1^m}$ of order $m\ge 1$ of the field $\mathbf{F}_1$ and the $m$-th roots of unity of the corresponding number field. It follows that elliptic curves with one cusp over $\mathbf{F}_1$ are either the cyclotomic fields or the maximal abelian unramified extensions of the quadratic number fields. Our proof depends on representaion of the Drinfeld modules by the bounded linear operators on a Hilbert space and the crossed product structure of the Cuntz-Krieger algebras.
