Beshenov's special-value conjecture for Weil-étale cohomology

Let XX be an arithmetic scheme and let n<0n<0 be a strictly negative integer. Assume Lc(Xeˊt,n)\mathbf{L}^c(X_{\text{ét}},n), B(X,n)\mathbf{B}(X,n), and the meromorphic continuation of ζ(X,s)\zeta(X,s) around s=ns=n. Let λ\lambda be the canonical isomorphism

λ ⁣:R(detZRΓW,c(X,Z(n)))R.\lambda\colon\mathbb{R}\xrightarrow{\cong}\left(\operatorname{det}_{\mathbb{Z}}R\Gamma_{\mathrm{W,c}}(X,\mathbb{Z}(n))\right)\otimes\mathbb{R}.

Beshenov's special-value conjecture. The special value ζ(X,n)\zeta^*(X,n) is determined up to sign by

λ(ζ(X,n)1)Z=detZRΓW,c(X,Z(n)).\lambda\bigl(\zeta^*(X,n)^{-1}\bigr)\cdot\mathbb{Z}=\operatorname{det}_{\mathbb{Z}}R\Gamma_{\mathrm{W,c}}(X,\mathbb{Z}(n)).

This is the determinant-line formulation of the special-value conjecture and extends the corresponding result of Flach and Morin from proper regular arithmetic schemes to the setting considered here. It remains conditional on the finiteness, regulator, and meromorphic-continuation assumptions.
