Abstract
Lichtenbaum conjectured the existence of a Weil-étale cohomology in order to describe the vanishing order and the special value of the zeta function of an arithmetic scheme at in terms of Euler–Poincaré characteristics. Assuming the (conjectured) finite generation of some étale motivic cohomology groups we construct such a cohomology theory for regular schemes proper over . In particular, we obtain (unconditionally) the right Weil-étale cohomology for geometrically cellular schemes over number rings. We state a conjecture expressing the vanishing order and the special value up to sign of the zeta function at in terms of a perfect complex of abelian groups . Then we relate this conjecture to Soulé’s conjecture and to the Tamagawa number conjecture of Bloch–Kato, and deduce its validity in simple cases.
