Abstract

We use former results on geometric local ε-factors over curves in order to prove a factorization result for the determinant of the cohomology of an ℓ-adic sheaf over an arbitrary proper scheme over a perfect field of positive characteristic p distinct from ℓ. The local contributions are constructed by iterating vanishing cycle functors as well as certain "refined Artin conductors", the latter being exact additive functors which can be considered as linearized versions of Artin conductors and local ε-factors. We provide several applications of our higher dimensional product formula, such as twist formulas for global ε-factors.
