Finite dimensionality of Galois cohomology

Let $K_S$ denote the maximal extension of $\mathbb{Q}$, unramified outside a finite set of primes $S$, and let $G_S$ denote the Galois group of $K_S/\mathbb{Q}$. It is known that for any finitely ...

Cohomology with coefficients in $\mu_\infty$

I'm encountering a lot of problems when dealing with the root of unity sheaf $\mu_\infty := \mathrm{colim}_n\mu_n$. Let $X$ be a smooth geometrically integral variety over a number field $k$. Although ...

Obtaining an exact sequence of Galois modules via derived functors

This question has two parts, the first part will be to obtain the desired exact sequence while the second will be to study it in the corresponding derived category and try to obtain it from there. Let ...

Is it true that $ H^{2r} ( X , \, \mathbb{Q}_{ \ell } (r) ) \simeq H^{2r} ( \overline{X} , \, \mathbb{Q}_{ \ell } (r) )^G $?

Let $ k $ be a field and let $ X $ be a smooth projective variety over $ k $ of dimension $ d $. We denote by $ \overline{X} = X \times_k \overline{k} \ $ the base change of $ X $ to the algebraic ...

What is known about the cohomological dimension of algebraic number fields?

What is the cohomological dimension of algebraic number fields like $\Bbb{Q}$, $\Bbb{Q}[i]$, $\Bbb{Q}[\sqrt{3}]$ or similar? I'm interested in computing the cohomological dimension of $\Bbb{A}^1_k$ ...

Galois invariants in étale cohomology

Suppose $X$ is a smooth projective variety over a field $k$, with separable closure $\overline{k}$, Galois group $G$, and let $\overline{X}$ be $X_{\overline{k}}$. Do we have $$(H^j(\overline{X},\...

etale cohomology of tori

Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field. Let $A$ be a strictly henselian local ring which is a $k$-algebra. Let $T$ a torus over $k((t))$. Can we compute $H^{1}(A((t)),T)$?

Etale cohomology with coefficients in $\mathbb{Q}$

Let $X$ be a smooth variety of a field $k$. Then is $$H_{et}^i(X, \mathbb{Q}) = 0$$ for all $i > 0$? The result is true for $i=1$. This follows from the same argument given for $\mathbb{Z}$-...

Relation between Galois and etale cohomologies

Let $D$ be the ring of integers of a number field $F$. Let $X=\mathrm{Spec} ~D$, and let $\pi$ be the etale fundamental group of $X$. There are natural maps from $H^i(\pi, \mathbf{Z}/n)$ to $H^i_{...

When does the continuous Galois(=etale) cohomology of fields coincide with the naive one? Often true by the Bloch-Kato conjecture?

For a field $F$ I am interested in its $l$-adic (Galois=\'etale) cohomology; here $l$ is a prime distinct from the characteristic of $F$ (for simplicity one may assume that the latter is $0$). For $...
