Etale cohomology of relative elliptic curve

Let $E_a: y^2 = x(x-1)(x-a)$ be a smooth proper relative elliptic curve over $\text{Spec}(A)$, with $a\in A$, and assume $\text{Spec}(A)$ is a $\text{Spec}(\mathbb{Q}_p)$-scheme. Let $R^1f_*\mathbb{Q}...

Reference request: sheaf-theoretic operations in the classical topology?

Like many graduate students before trying to learn something about étale cohomology and Deligne's proof(s) of the Riemann hypothesis part of the Weil conjectures, I am hunting for references detailing ...

Do 'change of coefficients' functors for sheaves commute with the four functors (formalism)?

For a morphism $f$ of varieties over a field of characteristic $\neq l$ I can consider the functors $Rf_*$, $f^\ast$, $f_!$, and $f^!$ both for the corresponding derived categories of 'all' (...

On inverse images with respect to Zariski-etale topology.

For a variety $X$ I define its Zariski-etale site as follows: the category is the category of etale $X$-schemes, and the coverings are Zariski ones. Note that this topology is more coarse than the ...

What are the easiest cases of base change (for sheaves on sites)?

I have a closed embedding of schemes $i:X'\to X$, and for each of them I consider three Grothendieck topologies for the category of the corresponding (relatively) \'etale schemes: the \'etale one, the ...

Do inverse images respect flabby sheaves?

Let $i:Y\to X$ be a closed embedding of varieties, and let $S$ be a flabby \'etale (or Nisnevich) sheaf of abelian groups on $X$. Is $i^*S$ flabby also? I am mostly interested in the case when $S=i_{x*...

Does one need to sheafify when defining the inverse image of a sheaf with respect to an embedding?

This seems to be a rather simple (stupid?:)) question; yet I was not able to find an answer quickly. For a morphism $f:X\to Y$ of schemes (or topological spaces) and an (etale or topological) sheaf $...
