Special values of L-functions of one-motives over function fields
arXiv:2009.14504 · doi:10.1515/crelle-2022-0081
Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to give a formula for the leading coefficient at of the -function of one-motives over function fields in terms of Weil-étale cohomology, generalizing the Weil-étale version of the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture in the authors' previous work. As a consequence we express the Tamagawa number of a torus introduced by Ono-Oesterlé in terms of Weil-étale cohomology, and reprove their Tamagawa number formula.
