Abstract

This paper presents a novel approach to understanding the density and distribution of prime numbers through the lens of sheaf cohomology over the arithmetic scheme . We define a new invariant, the cohomological density , which refines classical notions of analytic density by capturing how prime sets contribute to the global cohomological behavior of constructible sheaves. The framework utilizes Čech cohomology, étale site techniques, and Zariski topology to model primes as gluing data between affine patches. Moreover, we examine conditions under which primes are dense in a cohomological sense, characterize the vanishing of , and study local-global principles through derived functors. This unified geometric and homological interpretation deepens our understanding of prime distributions within arithmetic geometry.
