Jul 6, 2013 at 15:03 comment added Donu Arapura I suppose what you really want to know is why is $H^p(X,\mathcal{O}_X)\cong H^p(Y,\mathcal{O}_Y)\oplus H^p(Y, L)$ for some line bundle $L$? Answer: because of (1), (2) and (3) $\pi_*\mathcal{O}_X = \mathcal{O}_Y\oplus L$, where $L$ is the (-1)-eigenbundle of the leftside under the Galois action.

Jul 6, 2013 at 5:28 comment added Charles Staats Additional note: Since $\pi$ is affine, a cover of $Y$ by open affines pulls back to a cover of $X$ by open affines. Consequently, the Cech complex of $\pi_* \mathcal O_X$ with respect to a cover by open affines pulls back to a Cech complex of $\mathcal O_X$. This can be used for the first isomorphism.

Jul 6, 2013 at 5:08 comment added Sam Gunningham The first question follows from the exactness of $\pi_\ast$ (this would be true e.g. for any affine map $\pi$). The second is just because the functors $H^p(Y,-)$ are additive. This is very general.
