In Mann's six-functor formalism, do diagrams with the forget-supports map commute?

One of the main goals in formalizing six-functor formalisms is to obtain some sort of "coherence theorem", affirming that "every diagram that should commute, commutes". In these ...

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, ...

"Cohomology with compact support isomorphic to homology" theorems

I am collecting theorems throughout different fields which say roughly something of the form "Cohomology with compact support isomorphic to homology". I'm studying this situation (and its ...

Computation of cohomology of Eilenberg-Maclane spaces

$\DeclareMathOperator\Aut{Aut}\DeclareMathOperator\Ext{Ext}\DeclareMathOperator\Spf{Spf}$Background: If $E$ is a complex-oriented spectrum, then $E^*(K(\mathbb{Z}/p^k,1))$ sits inside a long exact ...

Cohomology of Grothendieck topology

My naïve cartoon picture of the construction of étale cohomology is this: start with a scheme, associate to it a Grothendieck topology (making a site). A functor from the Grothendieck topology to ...

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 ...

How do I produce a basis of cohomology?

Suppose I am discussing a smooth projective variety over an algebraically closed field with my friend on the phone and I want to make a statement about its $l$-adic cohomology (integral or rational). ...

Structure of the variety of $n$-tuples of $m \times m$ matrices with zero product

Consider the functor sending a commutative ring $R$ to $\{(A_1,\dots,A_n) \in ( M_m(R) )^n | A_1 \dots A_n =0 \}$ which defines a scheme over $\mathbb Z$, let $X$ be its base change to $\mathbb C$. ...

étale vs syntomic vs flat cohomology

Let $\mathscr{A}/X$ be an abelian scheme over $X$ of characterisitic $p$. The étale topology is not fine enough for the Kummer sequence for $\mathscr{A}$ to be (right) exact, but the syntomic and flat ...

Torsors for discrete groups in the etale topology

Let $S$ be a smooth variety over $\mathbb C$ or a smooth quasi-projective integral scheme over Spec $\mathbb{Z}$. Let $G$ be an (abstract) discrete group. For instance, $G =\mathbb{Z}^n$ or $G$ a ...

Can one compute the (etale) cohomology with support at a point for a "big" regular $k$-scheme via limit arguments?

I am trying to understand the coniveau spectral sequence for the cohomology of a "big" regular scheme over a field. This involves cohomology with support at points, and I am getting some strange ...

If $J$-coverings can be glued $I$-locally is $J$-locality an $I$-local property? (Reducing descent problems to simpler ones)

Let $(C,J)$ be a category with a grothendieck topology. For every object $X \in C$ there's (I hope) a little site which is the full subcategory of the slice category $C_{/X}$ whose objects are the ...

independence of $\ell$ for $p$-adic cohomology of varieties over finite fields

Let $X/k$ be a smooth projective geometrically integral variety ($X = A$ an Abelian variety suffices) over $k = \mathbf{F}_q$ with absolute Galois group $\Gamma$, $\bar{X} = X \times_k \bar{k}$, $q = ...

difference between the small and big étale/flat/... site

What is the difference between the small and the big étale (or flat or syntomic or ...) site? How does the cohomology vary? When should I use which one? Up to now, I have always used the small sites.
