TITLE: Kähler Structure for Projective Varieties over a Finite Field
QUESTION [8 upvotes]: (i) In 1960 Serre proved a famous analogue of the Weil conjectures for Kähler manifolds. This poses an obvious question: Does there exist an analogue of a Kähler structure for (non-singular) projective varieties over a finite field. That is, do there exist things like almost complex structures, Lefschetz operators, Kähler identities, etc?
(ii) Moreover, the study of generalised Hodge structures is a well-studied field. Does there exist a subfield of generalised Kähler structures?

REPLY [10 votes]: This may not be quite the answer you want, but from my point of view, smooth projective
varieties are the analogues of compact Kähler manifolds, where the metric corresponds to a
choice of ample line bundle. Over $\mathbb{C}$, the first Chern class of an ample line bundle
is precisely the Kähler class for a Fubini-Study metric. This is, however, an imperfect analogy; some things translate and some thing don't. For example, 
Lefschetz operators make sense in any Weil cohomology, and Deligne even gave a proof of the hard Lefschetz theorem for projective varieties by reducing to finite fields. There is
a definition of sorts for the $\Lambda$ and $*$ operators within algebraic geometry (see Kleiman, Algebraic cycles and the Weil conjectures). But these
are all at the cohomology level, not at the differential form level. So you shouldn't
expect Kähler identities in the conventional sense (as far as I can tell). 
I'm not sure how to interpret (ii).
