Descent of classifying stack

Let $X$ be a variety over $k$ and $G$ be a finite abelian group. Then we know that $H_{fppf}^{2}(X,G)$ is in bijective correspondence with isomorphism classes of $G$-banded gerbes. Now we consider a ...

Is there a ring stacky approach to $\ell$-adic or rigid cohomology?

Ever since Simpson's paper [Sim], it was observed that many different cohomology theories arise in the following way: we begin with our space $X$, we associate to it a stack $X_\text{stk}$ (which ...

Irreducible components of an algebraic stack

Let $\mathcal{X}$ be an algebraic stack of finite type over a (separably closed) field $ k$. Let's say that $\mathcal{X}$ has finite dimension $d \in \mathbb{Z}$. Is it still true that the number of ...

What is the relationship between the $\ell$-adic cohomology of a DM stack and that of its coarse moduli space?

Let $\mathscr{X}$ be a smooth proper DM stack over a field $k$ (perhaps assumed to be separably closed and/or of char. $0$) and let $\pi \colon \mathscr{X} \rightarrow X$ be its coarse moduli space. ...

Universal homeomorphism of stacks and etale sites

A morphism between schemes is a universal homeomorphism if it is integral, surjective, universally injective. For morphism between algebraic stacks, this notion also make sense. It is well know that ...

Cohomology of BG, algebraically

Let $k$ be a field (algebraically closed if you will) and $G$ be a connected reductive group over $k$. I would like to know a purely algebraic computation of the cohomology of $BG$, as the quotient ...

family of gerbes over smooth and proper algebraic varieties

Let $X$ be a smooth and proper variety over $\mathbb{C}$. Let $F$ be an $\mathbb{A}^1$ family of $\mathbb{G}_m$ gerbes over $X$. Suppose the fibers over every point away from 0 in $\mathbb{A}^1$ are ...

When is the base change morphism an isomorphism?

This is a rewrite of a previous question, which was in turn a follow up question to Leray-Hirsch principle for étale cohomology The motivation is to clarify some points in Torsten Ekedahl's ...

When can cohomology be calculated on the coarse moduli space?

Suppose $\cal{X}$ is a DM-stack, and X its coarse moduli space. Let F be a sheaf on $\cal{X}$, and $\pi : \mathcal{X} \to X$ the projection. In all examples I have seen, it has been true that $H^i(\...
