How would you call morphisms of varieties that induce isomorphisms on etale cohomology in low degrees?
In our text we have several statements of the following sort: for a certain morphism $f:X\to Y$ of varieties over an (algebraically closed) field of characteristic $p$ and some $c>0$ the ...

Is anything known about de Rham $K(\pi,1)$'s?
Let $X$ be a connected qcqs scheme. We say that $X$ is a (étale) $K(\pi,1)$ if for every locally constant constructible abelian sheaf $\mathscr{F}$ on $X$ and every geometric point $\overline{x}$ the ...

Is there a ring stacky approach to $\ell$-adic or rigid cohomology?
Ever since Simpson's paper [Sim], it was observed that many different cohomology theories arise in the following way: we begin with our space $X$, we associate to it a stack $X_\text{stk}$ (which ...

Proof of the projection formula (for cohomology of $\mathbf{P}V$)
Let $V\to X$ be a vector bundle (over say a scheme).
Then the cohomology of its projectivisation is
$$\text{H}^*(\mathbf{P}V)\ =\ \text{H}^*(X)[t]/(t^{n+1}+c_1(V)t^n+\cdots+c_n(V))$$

A Künneth formula for relative fiber products
There is a Künneth formula for the cohomology of a product of spaces $X\times Y$ in quite a lot of generality.

Suspension Theorem in $\mathbb{A}^1$-homotopy
In algebraic topology, the suspension theorem tells us that for a topological space $X$, we have
$$\tilde{H}^n(X,F)\cong \tilde{H}^{n+k}(S^k\wedge X,F).$$
So I'm wondering if this has an analogue in ...

What is the etale homotopy type of the Witt group of braided fusion categories?
The Witt group $\mathcal{W}$ of braided fusion categories (see also the sequel paper) can be defined over any field; I am happy to restrict to characteristic $0$ if it matters.
Is $\mathbb k \...

Is there a version of algebraic de Rham cohomology that can be used to calculate torsion classes?
Much work has gone into the construction of cohomology theories which are defined on algebraic varieties (étale, crystalline, etc.) and comparison isomorphisms between them.
Say $X$ is an algebraic ...

Homotopy equivalence between two basepoints of the etale homotopy type of the one-torus
Let $T = \mathbb{G}_m$ be the torus, and let $\tilde{T}$ be its étale universal cover (a pro-object in schemes of finite type). Then both $T$ and $\tilde{T}$ have a well-defined étale homotopy type. ...
