Exact functor in syntomic cohomology
By Tag 04C4 of the Stacks Project, for $f:X\rightarrow Y$ a closed immersion of schemes, the pushforward $f_*$ is exact for abelian sheaves on the big syntomic site.
Is it also true for a finite flat ...

Cohomology of Grothendieck topology
My naïve cartoon picture of the construction of étale cohomology is this:
start with a scheme, associate to it a Grothendieck topology (making a site).
A functor from the Grothendieck topology to ...

Does cohomology and base change hold if supported at a point?
I have a flat, quasicompact, and separated map $p : X \to \mathbb{A}^1$ and I know that $R^i p_* \mathcal{O}_X$ vanishes everywhere except possibly $0 \in \mathbb{A}^1$.

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}...

difference between the small and big étale/flat/... site
What is the difference between the small and the big étale (or flat or syntomic or ...) site? How does the cohomology vary? When should I use which one? Up to now, I have always used the small sites.

Is there a (satisfying) proof that cellular cohomology is isomorphic to simplicial cohomology that doesn't use relative cohomlogy?
That singular and de Rham cohomologies of a smooth manifold are isomorphic has two proofs that I know of. The classical one uses Stokes' theorem to give the isomorphism explicitly. The second proof ...
