Consider a smooth and projective variety X over a number field k. In [Se2] Serre defines for every place v of ka local Euler factor of the" motive" Hw (X) where 0< w< 2dimX. For the finite places this is essentially a characteristic polynomial of Frobenius acting on l-adic cohomology. For the infinite places v the local factor is given by a formula involving F-functions and certain numerical invariants of the Hodge structure of X~= X• kkv over k w. There is no obvious analogy to the local factors at the finite places. It is conjectured that the product of the local factors taken over all places of k extends to a meromorphic function on~ with a simple functional equation under the substitution s~--, w+ 1-s. All cases where this can be verified use the theory of automorphic L-functions. A proof of the general functional equation is not in sight. As a minimal prerequisite it seems necessary to me to understand the nature of the local factors at infinity in a conceptual way. The present note is adressed to this problem.Using a simple archimedian analogue Bo, of Fontaine's ring BoR we define a new cohomology theory H* called archimedian cohomology for smooth projective varieties over R or r The vector spaces H~ are infinite dimensional over IR and carry a natural endomorphism@. We show that with a suitable definition of an infinite determinant the inverse" characteristic polynomial"
