Considering a quotient singularity $\mathbb{C}^n/G,$ its crepant resolution $Y$ (i.e. having $c_1(Y)=0$) has rational cohomology supported in even degrees only. This holds for many other resolutions ...

De Jong's result on alterations allows one to show the potential semistability of certain Galois representations arising from cohomology of varieties (among other things). If we knew the existence of ...

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}...
