Let be a complete algebraically closed extension, and let
be the Fargues-Fontaine curve associated with
. If
is any vector bundle on
, the cohomology groups
vanish for all
and are naturally Banach-Colmez Spaces for
. Recall that the latter things are roughly “finite-dimensional
-vector spaces up to finite-dimensional
-vector spaces”. By a hard and wonderful theorem of Colmez, these Spaces form an abelian category, and they have a well-defined Dimension valued in
which is (componentwise-) additive in short exact sequences. The Dimension roughly records the
-dimension and the
-dimension, respectively. Typical examples are
, which has Dimension
, and
, which has Dimension
.
Here I want to record the following beautiful Riemann-Roch formula.
Theorem. If is any vector bundle on
, then
.
One can prove this by induction on the rank of , reducing to line bundles; the latter were classified by Fargues-Fontaine, and one concludes by an explicit calculation in that case. In particular, the proof doesn’t require the full classification of bundles.
So cool!
