Leray spectral sequence for étale homology

Let $X$, $Y$, $Z$ be quasi-projective varieties over an algebraically closed field $k$, $f: X \to Y$ and $g: Z \to X$ proper (even projective) maps with $f$ smooth, and $h: Z \to Y$ their composite. ...

When do we have $\bigoplus_{i + j = n} R^i f_* \mathbb{Q}_\ell \otimes_{\mathbb{Q}_\ell} R^j g_* \mathbb{Q}_\ell \cong R^{i + j} h_* \mathbb{Q}_\ell$?

Milne, Étale Cohomology, theorem 8.5 states the following version of the Künneth formula (in slightly greater generality). Let $\Lambda$ be a finite commutative ring. Let $X, Y, S$ be schemes with $S$ ...

Could I get an interpretation for application of Euler characteristics in number theory?

As a beginner who just get in touch with Euler characteristics in this field, could I get some intuition for the arithmetic meaning of Euler characteristics of bounded complexes, for example Selmer ...

details of a dévissage argument for constructible sheaves

I am working on the following Künneth-type isomorphism from [SGA5, exposé III, 2,3]: $\mathrm{Settings}.$ Let $X_1, X_2$ be separated finite type schemes over the spectrum of a field $S=\mathrm{Spec}...

On universally closed morphisms of reduced schemes

In this question I'd like to examine some properties of universally closed morphisms. The question is self-contained. It can also be seen as a follow-up to this question. Let $R$ be a discrete ...

A question about a truncated object

I was hoping someone could help me with the understanding of a particular truncated object. Here are some background: For any object $A$ in an abelian category $\mathcal{A}$, we can view $A$ as an ...

To see that the fundamental class of a local complete intersection is independent of choice of regular sequence

In SGA 4½ ‘Cycle,’ Grothendieck defines (among other things) the fundamental class of a local complete intersection $Y\subset X$ ($X$ simply a noetherian scheme) of codimension $c$ locally as the cup-...

How did Jouanolou define the cup product with no finiteness hypotheses in SGA 5?

In SGA 5 Exposé VII, at the beginning of §2, Jouanolou lets $X$ and $Y$ denote two schemes, $f:X\rightarrow Y$ a morphism, and $A$ the ring $\mathbf{Z}/\nu\mathbf{Z}$ where $\nu$ is an integer prime ...

Morphism of sites and abelian sheaf cohomology

Let $f : \mathcal{C}\to\mathcal{D}$ be a morphism of sites (see the Stacks Project) with induced morphism of topoi $$(f^{-1}, f_*) : Sh(\mathcal{D})\to Sh(\mathcal{C}).$$ By assumption, $f^{-1}$ is an ...

A question on direct limits of rings, and descent of ideals

Motivated by an étale cohomology calculation I am going to do, here is a question that should have positive and not too hard answer. Let $A$ be a ring, $A_0$ a ring such that $A_0$ is equipped with ...

Cohomology of $\mathbf{G}_a\otimes_{\mathbf{Z}}\mathbf{G}_a$

Let $X$ be a smooth projective variety over a field. Is $$H^p(X_{Zar},\mathbf{G}_a\otimes_{\mathbf{Z}}\mathbf{G}_a)$$ at all related to $H^p(X_{Zar},\mathbf{G}_a) = H^p(X,\mathcal{O}_X)$ via tensor ...

Is there a Hochschild-Serre spectral sequence for unramified cohomology?

Similar to the Hochschild-Serre spectral sequence for etale cohomology ($H^p(G, H^q_{et}(X_L, \mathcal F|_{X_L})) \Rightarrow H^{p+q}_{et}(X, \mathcal F)$ for a Galois field extension $L/k$ with ...

Relative flasqueness?

It is known that a flasque sheaf on a topological space has trivial cohomology. Suppose that we are in a relative situation of a smooth fibration $\pi: X \to S$ and $F$ is a sheaf on $X$. Is there ...
