Let $ \mathbb{F}_{q} $ be a finite field of characteristic $ p $ and $ \overline{\mathbb{F}_{q}} $ be an algebraic closure of $ \mathbb{F}_{q} $. Let $ X $ be a smooth projective variety over $ \...

For a topological space $X$, consider the Leray covering $U_\lambda$ (i.e. $\cap U_\lambda$ is sufficiently fine, e.g. affine for Zariski topology) of $X$. For a sheaf $F$ on $X,$ the cohomology $H^...

Can one develop a theory of étale homology via étale cosheaves? The hope is that this would, for example, return the Tate module (and not its dual) for an elliptic curve, and it would return group ...
