Can one characterise a global field geometrically?

64 Views Asked by At

A global field is either a

  1. a finite extension of the rationals

  2. a finite extensions of $F_q(t)$

Alternatively, the second is the function field of an algebraic curve over a finite field.

Is there a geometric equivalent to first that is parallel to this?
