Characterize descents of geometric finite étale cover by means of homotopy exact sequence
Let $X/k$ be a geometrically connected $k$-variety (=separated of finite type, esp quasi-compact; the base field $k$ assumed to be separable, so $\overline{k}=k^{\text{sep}}$), $\overline{X} := X \...

Find stratification to decompose constructible sheaf to constant parts (example from Wikipedia)
I have a question about techniques used in determining the stratification over which a constructible sheaf falls into even constant pieces demonstrated on this example from Wikipedia.
Let $f:X = \text{...

Henselization of normal rings (Milne's EC)
The usual way to define the Henselization $A^h$ of a local ring $(A, \mathfrak{m})$ is by taking the direct limit $\varinjlim (B, \mathfrak q)$ over all étale neighborhoods of $A$
(i.e. pairs $(B,\...

Is there a simple counterexample to étale proper base change on the unbounded derived category?
The best non-derived version of proper base change on the étale site of a scheme I know is that for $f : X \to Y$ proper and $g : Y' \to Y$ arbitrary, the base change morphism $g^{-1} R f_\star \...

Base change for fundamental group prime to p in mixed characteristic?
I found the answer to this question while typing it up, but since I've already written it, it is probably worthwhile to post-and-answer in case someone finds it useful.
Let $S=\operatorname{Spec}\...

Geometric generic point of a complete linear system
In the following context: Let $S$ be a connected smooth projective surface over $\mathbb{C}$, and let $\Sigma$ be the complete linear system of a very ample divisor $D$ on $S$. Let $d=\dim(\Sigma)$ ...

Ind-etale vs weakly etale
In this article Bhatt and Scholze consider ind-etale and weakly etale maps of affine schemes. We have two (easy) statements, proven in Prop.2.3.3(1) and (5):
-- any ind-etale map is weakly etale,
-- ...

Picard group and reduced schemes
$\DeclareMathOperator\Pic{Pic}$If $A$ is a ring, then we know that $\Pic(A)=\Pic(A_\text{red})$, but for a scheme $X$ it is false in general.
On the other hand, we have that $\Pic(X)=H^{1}_{et}(X,\...

Fpqc-locally constant if and only if étale-locally constant?
Also in SE.
Let $\mathcal{F}$ be sheave over $S_\mathrm{fpqc}$. We say $\mathcal{F}$ is a fpqc-locally constant sheaf (of finitely generated abelian groups) if there exists a fpqc covering $(S_i\to S)...

What is the natural motivation for smooth/étale/unramified morphisms restricting from formally smooth/étale/unramified morphisms?
(I asked it first in MathStackExchange but I haven't get an answer yet)
Smooth (resp. étale) morphisms are just locally finitely presented + formally smooth (resp. étale) morphisms.
For unramified ...

Discriminant ideal in a member of Barsotti-Tate Group
Let $S = \operatorname{Spec} R$ an affine scheme (in our case latter a complete dvr) and $p$ a prime. Then Barsotti-Tate group or $p$-divisible group $G$ of height $h$ over $S$
is an inductive system

Does a morphism of etale sheaves restricting to a closed subscheme $Z$ induce a morphism of their subsheaves of sections supported on $Z$?
Let $X$ be a locally Noetherian scheme and $i:Z\to X$ be an immersion of closed subschemes.
Let $\mathcal{F},\mathcal{G}$ be two etale abelian sheaves over $X_{et}$.
We can define the subsheaf $\...

local acyclicity when restricting to an hypersurface

Suppose that $K$ is locally ...

Henselization and completions of local rings & schemes

Why care about Grothendieck topology? [closed]

Why would you want a notion of sheaf theory for objects more general
than topological spaces? Well, the original motivation (to my

Invariants of etale topological type that are not homotopy invariants
Artin--Mazur theory attaches etale homotopy type to reasonable schemes. Associated to this homotopy type are certain invariants of the scheme, such as etale fundamental group and higher homotopy ...

Cohomology groups on small fppf site and small etale site are not the same
Let $F$ be a quasi-coherent sheaf on a scheme $X$. Is there an example where cohomology groups of $F$ on small fppf site of $X$ and small etale site of $X$ are not isomorphic?

Do residues commute with transverse base change?
Fix a number $n > 0$. Given a smooth $\mathbb{Z}[1/n]$-scheme $X$ (i.e., a smooth scheme such that $n$ is invertible in its ring of functions), we may consider the étale sheaf $\mu_n$ on $X$ which ...

Universal homeomorphisms and the étale topology
Let $f:X\to S$ be a universal homeomorphism of schemes. Assume $X(S')\neq\emptyset$ for some étale surjective $S'\to S$. Does $f$ have a section?
The answer is yes if $S$ is reduced, by descent. ...
