The first purpose of schemes theory is the geometrical study of solutions of algebraic systems of equations, not only over the real/complex numbers, but also over integer numbers (and more generally over any commutative ring with 1). It was finalized by Alexandre Grothendieck, during the 1950s and the 1960s.

Does one need l to be invertible in S in order to consider the l-adic cohomology of S-scheme...

What happens with $\mathbb{Q}_l$-adic cohomology of schemes if $l$ is not invertible in $S$ (but is not equal to the characteristic of $S$)? Will the Tate twist be invertible? …

More on universal homeomorphisms

Is a universal homeomorphism of connected regular (excellent finite dimensional) schemes an isomorphism if these schemes are not positive characterstic ones? … Suppose that a finite morphism $f:X\to Y$ of connected regular (excellent finite dimensional) schemes is generically purely inseparable. …

If $X,Y$ are regular and of finite type over $S$, can $X\times _S Y$ be embedded into a regu...

Now, I am interested in the following setting: $X,Y$ are regular schemes of finite type over $S$; $S$ is separated excellent noetherian of finite Krull dimension (and one may assume that $X$ and $Y$ are …

For a morphism f from a regular scheme, should there exist an open subscheme U of the target...

All schemes are excellent. If the answer is 'yes', then: could one choose such an $U$ such that the preimage of any regular subscheme of $U$ is regular? Are these conditions on $U$ equivalent? …

Model of a scheme regular over the generic point

Let all schemes below be excellent. Let $X_0$ be a regular (not necessarily smooth, projective) non-empty scheme of finite type over the generic point $\eta$ of a regular connected scheme $S$. …

Do all the main properties of constructible and perverse sheaves (in an 'arithmetic' situati...

This question is a continuation of Bad behaviour of perverse sheaves over 'general' bases? Let $S$ (for example) be a finite type separated scheme over $\mathbb{Z}$. I would like: (1) to define the p …

Spectrum of the Grothendieck ring of varieties

This ring is very important for motivic integration; so it might be useful for you to read surveys on this subject. Yet I would say that this ring is too large and complicated. A reasonable factor-rin …

Which valuations of a field yield codimension $1$ subschemes of their 'models'

For a field $F$ (for example, a one generated by a finite number of its elements) there is a directed set of its 'models' (in this case those are 'arithmetic' schemes whose fraction field is $F$). …

Let $f:X\to Y$ be a universal homeomorphism of regular (excellent finite-dimensional) schemes, $Z\subset Y$ be a regular subscheme. Is $f^{-1}(Z)$ necessarily regular? …

When singular points of a reduced scheme are not dense in it?

A stupid AG question: could singular (Zarisky) points be dense in a reduced (Noetherian) scheme $S$? If yes, which 'standard' restrictions on $S$ could ensure that this does not happen? For example, s …

If $f:X\to S$ is a universal homeomorphism, is $f':X\times_S X\to X$ a nil-immersion?

If $f:X\to S$ is a universal homeomorphism, is $f':X\times_S X\to X$ always a nil-immersion? This seems to be easy, yet possibly I miss something. Should I give references to this fact in a paper?

Which schemes can be presented as limits of smooth varieties?

In this text I only treat schemes that are excellent separated of finite Krull dimension. So, I have the following questions. … Is there an interesting subclass in the class of all limit schemes of this sort? I don't want to restrict myself to affine schemes. …

Are "strongly finite dimensional" homotopy invariant sheaves with transfers (locally) constant?

Moreover, I am actually interested in the extension of $S$ to pro-smooth (say, affine) $k$-schemes; and my finite dimensionality assumption corresponds to the finite dimensionality of $S(\operatorname{ …
