Is there a simple counterexample to étale proper base change on the unbounded derived category?
The best non-derived version of proper base change on the étale site of a scheme I know is that for $f : X \to Y$ proper and $g : Y' \to Y$ arbitrary, the base change morphism $g^{-1} R f_\star \...

Base change for fundamental group prime to p in mixed characteristic?
I found the answer to this question while typing it up, but since I've already written it, it is probably worthwhile to post-and-answer in case someone finds it useful.
Let $S=\operatorname{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 ...

Images of smooth schemes under lci morphisms
Let $S$ be a Noetherian scheme, $f : X\to S$ a smooth quasi-projective morphism, $g : X\to Y$ a morphism of finite type, and $h : Y\to S$ a smooth projective morphism with $h\circ g =f$.
Can we say ...

Étale group schemes and specialization
If $A$ is an abelian variety over a finite field $\mathbf{F}_q$, then $A(\mathbf{F}_q)$ (resp. $A(\overline{\mathbf{F}}_q)$) is a finite (resp. infinite torsion) group, but $A(\mathbf{F}_q(t))$ is a ...

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 ...

Interpretation of Tate conjecture using motivic homotopy
For a smooth projective variety $X$ over a field $k$ the Tate conjecture says that the cycle class maps
$$CH^i(X)\otimes \mathbb{Q}_l \to H^{2i}(X_{\bar{k}},\mathbb{Q}_l(i))^{G_k}$$
are surjective. To ...
