details of a dévissage argument for constructible sheaves

I am working on the following Künneth-type isomorphism from [SGA5, exposé III, 2,3]: $\mathrm{Settings}.$ Let $X_1, X_2$ be separated finite type schemes over the spectrum of a field $S=\mathrm{Spec}...

Is anything known about de Rham $K(\pi,1)$'s?

Let $X$ be a connected qcqs scheme. We say that $X$ is a (étale) $K(\pi,1)$ if for every locally constant constructible abelian sheaf $\mathscr{F}$ on $X$ and every geometric point $\overline{x}$ the ...

Is there a ring stacky approach to $\ell$-adic or rigid cohomology?

Ever since Simpson's paper [Sim], it was observed that many different cohomology theories arise in the following way: we begin with our space $X$, we associate to it a stack $X_\text{stk}$ (which ...

Proof of the projection formula (for cohomology of $\mathbf{P}V$)

Let $V\to X$ be a vector bundle (over say a scheme). Then the cohomology of its projectivisation is $$\text{H}^*(\mathbf{P}V)\ =\ \text{H}^*(X)[t]/(t^{n+1}+c_1(V)t^n+\cdots+c_n(V))$$ as an algebra, ...

Rigid \'etale cohohomology of flag variety minus its rational points e.g $p$-adic Drinfeld half plane

Let $Fl=G/B$ over $\mathbb Q_p$ be the flag variety of a quasi-split reductive group $G$ over $\mathbb Q_p$, then $X=Fl-Fl(Q_p)$ shall exist as a rigid analytic variety over $\mathbb Q_p$, how to ...

Stalks of limit sheaves

Let $\{\mathcal{F}_i\}_{i\in \mathbb{N}}$ be an inverse system of sheaves of abelian groups on a space $X$. Then for any $x\in X$ we have a natural map $$\left(\lim_i \mathcal{F}_i\right)_x\rightarrow ...

A Künneth formula for relative fiber products

There is a Künneth formula for the cohomology of a product of spaces $X\times Y$ in quite a lot of generality. Is there a Künneth formula for relative fiber products $X\times_S Y$? The case I am most ...

Suspension Theorem in $\mathbb{A}^1$-homotopy

In algebraic topology, the suspension theorem tells us that for a topological space $X$, we have $$\tilde{H}^n(X,F)\cong \tilde{H}^{n+k}(S^k\wedge X,F).$$ So I'm wondering if this has an analogue in ...

What is the etale homotopy type of the Witt group of braided fusion categories?

The Witt group $\mathcal{W}$ of braided fusion categories (see also the sequel paper) can be defined over any field; I am happy to restrict to characteristic $0$ if it matters. Is $\mathbb k \...

Is there a version of algebraic de Rham cohomology that can be used to calculate torsion classes?

Much work has gone into the construction of cohomology theories which are defined on algebraic varieties (étale, crystalline, etc.) and comparison isomorphisms between them. Say $X$ is an algebraic ...

Homotopy equivalence between two basepoints of the etale homotopy type of the one-torus

Let $T = \mathbb{G}_m$ be the torus, and let $\tilde{T}$ be its étale universal cover (a pro-object in schemes of finite type). Then both $T$ and $\tilde{T}$ have a well-defined étale homotopy type. ...
