When (or why) is a six-functor formalism enough?

The six functor formalism in a given cohomology theory consists of for each space a derived category of sheaves and six different ways to construct functors between those categories (four involving a ...

understanding higher direct images of $\mathbb{G}_m$ for a finite Galois map

Let $X$ be a smooth quasi-projective variety over $\mathbb{C}$, and let $\mu_r$ denote the group of $r$-th roots of unity, and moreover suppose $\mu_r$ (algebraically) acts on $X$ freely. Then $Y:= X/\...

The cohomology groups corresponding to a modified global sections functor

Let $\mathcal{F}$ be a sheaf on the big etale site of $Sm_k$. I am looking for a way to calculate a modified version of sheaf cohomology. Let $X$ be a smooth scheme and $Z$ a closed sub-scheme. After ...

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 ...

Etale cohomology of a nodal (cuspidal) curve

Let $k$ be a separably closed field, and $X/k$ be a curve (not necessarily complete) with a single singularity, a simple node $x$. Suppose $\ell$ is a prime number invertible in $k$, how do we compute ...

Sheaf cohomology on the formal completion of $\mathbb{P}^1_k$ at its north pole

Let $k$ be a field and let $\mathbb{P}^1_k$ be the projective line over $k$. Let $\mathcal{F}$ be a coherent sheaf on $\mathbb{P}^1_k$. The curve $\mathbb{P}^1_k$ is recovered by the two affine ...

Does a morphism of etale sheaves restricting to a closed subscheme $Z$ induce a morphism of their subsheaves of sections supported on $Z$?

Let $X$ be a locally Noetherian scheme and $i:Z\to X$ be an immersion of closed subschemes. Let $\mathcal{F},\mathcal{G}$ be two etale abelian sheaves over $X_{et}$. We can define the subsheaf $\...

local acyclicity when restricting to an hypersurface

Let $X$ be a smooth scheme over $\mathbb{C}$ and a constructible sheaf $K$ of complex vector spaces on $X\times\mathbb{A}^1$ and a function $g:X\rightarrow \mathbb{A}^1$. Suppose that $K$ is locally ...

Is any element in $H^2_{et}(X,\mathcal{O}_X^*)$ locally trivial in the Zariski topology?

Let $X$ be an algebraic variety over a field $k$ and we consider the cohomological Brauer group $H^2_{et}(X,\mathcal{O}_X^*)$. For any element $\alpha \in H^2_{et}(X,\mathcal{O}_X^*)$ and any closed ...

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.
