Abstract

We show that the algebra and the endomotive of the quantum statistical mechanical system of Bost–Connes naturally arises by extension of scalars from the “field with one element” to rational numbers. The inductive structure of the abelian part of the endomotive corresponds to the tower of finite extensions of that “field,” while the endomorphisms reflect the Frobenius correspondences. This gives in particular an explicit model over the integers for this endomotive, which is related to the original Hecke algebra description. We study the reduction at a prime of the endomotive and of the corresponding noncommutative crossed product algebra. Video.
