Do the cohomology groups of the structure sheaf of a smooth resolution depend on the resolution?
Let $X$ be an affine variety. Let $Y$ be smooth and let the map $f\colon Y\rightarrow X$ be proper birational. We will call $Y$ a smooth resolution of $X$.
Do the cohomology groups $H^i(Y,\mathcal{O}...

Cohomology of a structure sheaf of a normal affine variety
I can't find the reference for the following fact:
