Nov 6, 2017 at 16:23 comment added Wenzhe @JoeSilverman Thank you. I have not worked it out, but someone has told me the result, it is twisted by a Dirichlet character, and I will have a try!

Nov 5, 2017 at 18:42 comment added Joe Silverman Have you worked a simple case, for example $X$ is an abelian variety and the cocycle $c:\text{Gal}(\overline{\mathbb Q}/\mathbb Q)\to\text{Aut}(X_{\overline{\mathbb Q}})$ takes values in automorphisms that fix $0$, so $X'$ is also an abelian variety. Then $H^1_{et}(X_{\overline{\mathbb Q}},\mathbb Q_\ell)$ is dual to the Tate module $T_\ell(X)$. Fixing a $\overline{\mathbb Q}$-isomorphism $f:X\to X'$, it's easy enough to untangle how the Galois representations on $T_\ell(X)$ and $T_\ell(X')$ are related.
Nov 5, 2017 at 18:33 comment added Wille Liu I don't know what can be expected between these representations. Already in dimension 0, the regular representation of any finite quotient of the absolute galois group can appear as $H^0(\mathrm{Spec} (L\otimes_{\mathbb{Q}} \bar{\mathbb{Q}}), \mathbb{Q}_\ell)$, where $L/\mathbb{Q}$ is a finite extension.

Nov 4, 2017 at 11:30 comment added Wenzhe Thank you! The Galois action of $\text{Gal}(\overline{\mathbb{Q}}/\mathbb{Q})$ on the etale cohomology should be different!
Nov 4, 2017 at 0:39 comment added R. van Dobben de Bruyn That should probably be $H^q_{\operatorname{\acute et}}(X_{\bar{\mathbb Q}}, \mathbb Q_{\ell})$ (base changed to the algebraic closure).
