Jul 18, 2021 at 8:39 comment added user127776 Your last question is asking about $H_{et}^i(k,\mathbb{G}_m)$. It is torsion for $i\geq1$. Even if you replace $k$ by $X$ it is true for $i>1$. In the case of fields it can be shown it is also torsion for $i=1$. The easiest way that I can explain this is by using motivic cohomology and the fact $\mathbb{G}_m[-1]$ is the weight one etale motivic complex which rationally agrees with the motivic cohomology. But I am sure there is an elementary proof too, see page 88 here: jmilne.org/math/CourseNotes/LEC.pdf
Jul 18, 2021 at 7:51 comment added oleout @user127776 most of what I encountered has the proper condition imposed on $X$, so $\bar{k}[X]^*$ is simply $\bar{k}^*$. I've never thought about the structure of $k[X]^*$ itself, could you explain it further? Also, the quotient $k[X]^*/k^*$ is finitely generated, I didn't know about it being free.
Jul 18, 2021 at 7:46 comment added user127776 Are you aware that $k[X]^*$ ($k$ doesn't need to be algebraically closed) has a very nice group structure? In fact $k[X]^*/k^*$ is free abelian group of finite rank.
