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-...

details of a dévissage argument for constructible sheaves

I am working on the following Künneth-type isomorphism from [SGA5, exposé III, 2,3]: $\mathrm{Settings}.$ Let $X_1, X_2$ be separated finite type schemes over the spectrum of a field $S=\mathrm{Spec}...

Tate twist and cohomology groups

I am reading Milne's lecture notes on etale cohomology and I'm hoping someone could help me clear up some minor confusion. Let $X$ be a nonsingular variety over an algebraically closed field $k,$ say $...

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 ...

Eigenspaces of complex conjugation on étale cohomology of a smooth projective curve

Let $X$ denote a smooth projective curve defined over $\mathbb{Z}[1/N]$, and its base change $ \overline{X} $ to $ \overline{\mathbb{Q}} $. Let $ V $ be a $ p $-adic local system on $X$ ($p\mid N$), ...

Specialization of w-contractible objects on intersections on the pro-étale site

I'm trying to understand sections [61.25] and [61.26] of Stacks Project on closed immersions and extension by zero on the pro-étale site. Lemma [61.25.5] refers to affine weakly contractible objects $...

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 ...

Action of complex conjugation on etale cohomology

Let $X$ be a genus $g$ smooth projective curve, defined over $\mathbb{Q}$, and let $\overline{X}$ denote the base change of $X$ to $\overline{\mathbb{Q}}$. It is well known that $H^1_{\text{ét}}(\...
