Is it true that $ H^{2r} ( X , \, \mathbb{Q}_{ \ell } (r) ) \simeq H^{2r} ( \overline{X} , \, \mathbb{Q}_{ \ell } (r) )^G $?

Let $ k $ be a field and let $ X $ be a smooth projective variety over $ k $ of dimension $ d $. We denote by $ \overline{X} = X \times_k \overline{k} \ $ the base change of $ X $ to the algebraic ...

Relation between Galois and etale cohomologies

Let $D$ be the ring of integers of a number field $F$. Let $X=\mathrm{Spec} ~D$, and let $\pi$ be the etale fundamental group of $X$. There are natural maps from $H^i(\pi, \mathbf{Z}/n)$ to $H^i_{...

Etale cohomology with coefficients in $\mathbb{Q}$

Let $X$ be a smooth variety of a field $k$. Then is $$H_{et}^i(X, \mathbb{Q}) = 0$$ for all $i > 0$? The result is true for $i=1$. This follows from the same argument given for $\mathbb{Z}$-...

When does the continuous Galois(=etale) cohomology of fields coincide with the naive one? Often true by the Bloch-Kato conjecture?

For a field $F$ I am interested in its $l$-adic (Galois=\'etale) cohomology; here $l$ is a prime distinct from the characteristic of $F$ (for simplicity one may assume that the latter is $0$). For $...

Continuity of l-adic cohomology: is the cohomology of the generic point isomorphic to the completion of the limit of cohomology of open subvarieties?

Let $X$ be a variety over an algebraically closed field $k$. Denote by $\eta$ its generic point; it is the inverse limit of the open subvarieties $X_i$ of $X$. It is well known that the etale ...
