Beshenov's vanishing-order conjecture for arithmetic schemes

Let XX be an arithmetic scheme and let n<0n<0 be an integer. Assume that ζ(X,s)\zeta(X,s) has a meromorphic continuation around s=ns=n, and let HW,ci(X,Z(n))H^i_{\mathrm{W,c}}(X,\mathbb{Z}(n)) denote the Weil-étale cohomology groups with compact support. Beshenov's vanishing-order conjecture. One has

ords=nζ(X,s)=iZ(1)iirkZHW,ci(X,Z(n)).\operatorname{ord}_{s=n}\zeta(X,s)=\sum_{i\in\mathbb{Z}}(-1)^i\,i\,\operatorname{rk}_{\mathbb{Z}}H^i_{\mathrm{W,c}}(X,\mathbb{Z}(n)).

This gives the order of the zero or pole of the zeta function in terms of Weil-étale cohomology. The paper verifies compatibility with several geometric decompositions and obtains cases such as cellular schemes over suitable one-dimensional bases, but does not establish the conjecture in general.
