Is there a lift of the q-Vandermonde identity to some geometric (motivic) identity for Grassmannians over $F_q$?
The q-Vandermonde identity reads:
$$ \binom{m + n}{k}_{\!\!q} =\sum_{j} \binom{m}{k - j}_{\!\!q} \binom{n}{j}_{\!\!q} q^{j(m-k+j)} $$
The q-binomial coefficients:
$$ \binom{ a }{ b}_{\!\!q} $$

Analogies supporting heuristic: Weyl groups = algebraic groups over field with one element?
There is well-known heuristic that Weyl groups are reductive algebraic groups over "field with one element".
Probably the best known analogy supporting that heuristic is the limit $q\to1$ ...

What is the field with one element?
I've heard of this many times, but I don't know anything about it.
What I do know is that it is supposed to solve the problem of the fact that the final object in the category of schemes is one-...

Riemann hypothesis via absolute geometry
Several leading mathematicians (e.g. Yuri Manin) have written or said publicly that there is a known outline of a likely natural proof of the Riemann hypothesis using absolute algebraic geometry over ...

Can one divide algebraic manifolds ? Make sense: $Gr(2,n)/ Gr(2,n+m) = P^{n-1}/P^{n+m-1} P^{n-2}/P^{n+m-2}$
Let's start from a little bit far.
Basic probability theory - chain rule reads:
$$ P(AB) = P(A)P(B|A)$$
Example: consider n+m balls, where n - white balls, m - black balls,
consider A - first ...

Connes–Consani's absolute geometry and Lurie's spectral algebraic geometry
Alain Connes and Caterina Consani seem to be currently working on "absolute algebraic geometry", which is a kind of "algebraic geometry over the sphere spectrum" (https://arxiv.org/...

Durov approach to Arakelov geometry and $\mathbb{F}_1$
Durov's thesis on algebraic geometry over generalized rings looks extremely intriguing: it promises to unify scheme based and Arakelov geometry, even in singular cases, as well as including geometry ...

What are the points of simple algebraic groups over extensions of $\mathbb{F}_1$?
The "field with one element" $\mathbb{F}_1$ is, of course, a very speculative object. Nevertheless, some things about it seem to be generally agreed, even if the theory underpinning them is not; in ...

What is the algebraic closure of the field with one element?
If doing geometry over $\mathbb F_p$ means also using its algebraic closure, it must be interesting to talk about the algebraic closure of $\mathbb F_1$ - the field with one element.
I saw that the ...

Applications of algebraic geometry over a field with one element
I would like to understand at least one of the several existing approaches to algebraic geometry over $\mathbb{F}_1$ (the field with one element). Is there an example of an "interesting" theorem that ...

How is Borger's approach to $\mathbb{F_{1}}$ related to previous approaches (e.g. Deitmar's)?
The "traditional" approach to the so-called "field with one element" $\mathbb{F}_{1}$ is by using monoids, or, to put it in another way, by forgetting the additive structure of ...

Inter-Universal Teichmuller Theory and the Field with One Element
The idea of the "field with one element", or $\mathbb{F}_{1}$, is supposed to allow us to do for number fields what we can do for function fields. Hence this idea often comes up regarding problems ...

Combinatorial/probabilistic statements having $F_{\text{un}}$/$F_q$ geometric interpetation
$\newcommand{\Fun}{F_\text{un}}$There was lots of "Fun with $\Fun$" (field with one element) in recent years.
One of the points is that it provides bridge between geometrical and ...
