Syntomic f-cohomology for open varieties
Syntomic cohomology $H^{i+j}_{\mathrm{syn}}(X,n)$ of a proper variety $X$ with good reduction over a $p$-adic field $K$ is computed via a spectral sequence in terms of $H^i_{\mathrm{f}}(G_K;H^j_{\...

Triple comparison of cohomology in algebraic geometry
Let $X$ be a smooth proper variety over $\mathbb{Q}$ and $p$ a prime number. For an integer $k$, we have:
a finitely-generated abelian group $H^k(X^{\mathrm{an}}(\mathbb{C});\mathbb{Z})$
a finitely-...

Do étale coordinates give rise to a regular sequence of diagonal elements?
Fix an algebraic extension $k\subseteq K$ of fields of characteristic zero and consider a map of commutative rings $\phi\colon K\left[T_{1}^{\pm},\dots,T_{n}^{\pm}\right]\to A$ which is étale. Now ...

Finiteness of the Brauer group for a one-dimensional scheme that is proper over $\mathrm{Spec}(\mathbb{Z})$
Let $X$ be a scheme with $\dim(X)=1$ that is also proper over $\mathrm{Spec}(\mathbb{Z})$. In Milne's Etale Cohomology, he states that the finiteness of the Brauer group $\mathrm{Br}(X)$ follows from ...

How does one compute the group action of the automorphism group on integral cohomology?
Suppose I have a curve $X$ (for concreteness, we can take $X$ to be a smooth, projective curve over a finite field $\mathbb F_q$, and even more concretely consider the family of curves described by ...
