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-...

In which "sense" unramified Milnor-Witt K-groups are unramified

Let $X$ be an integral locally noetherian smooth scheme over base field $k$. Then for every $x \in X^{(1)}$ point of codimension $1$, the stalk $\mathcal{O}_{X,x}$ is a discrete valuation ring. ...

Is there any theory of "étale cohomology" with algebraic coefficients?

For simplicity, I will restrict attention to untwisted coefficients. Let $k$ be a finite field of characteristic $p$, and $\ell\ne p$ prime. Can one define a cohomology theory with $\mathbb{Q}_\ell^{\...

What unramified Galois representations come from geometry?

I think we don't know what crystalline representations come from geometry. What about the unramified ones? Specifically let $\phi:\mathrm{Gal}(\overline{\mathbb{Q}_p}/\mathbb{Q}_p)\to GL_n(\mathbb{Q}...

Functoriality for $\ell$-adic cohomology - a question

This should a be basic enough question, but I’m a little confused. In proving that $H^*(X,\mathbf{Q}_{\ell})$ is functorial (in the sense of Weil cohomology theories: see axiom D2 here) as $X$ ranges ...
