Course description and aims
The main topics of this course are the concepts and properties of étale cohomology, often used for the arithmetic geometry. After reviewing Galois theory for fields, students will study the definition and properties of Galois cohomology, and specific examples. The étale cohomology of schemes for fields is Galois cohomology. Étale cohomology is a natural extension of Galois cohomology. Students will then review the basics of schemes and sheaves, studying étale morphism and Grothendieck topology. Using that, the instructor will define étale cohomology, and cover its properties. Specific examples will be investigated. This course is followed by Advanced Topics in Algebra F.
Étale cohomology is a basic, commonly used tool in the arithmetic geometry. Students in this course will gain an understanding of étale cohomology, and accurately describe étale cohomology for algebraic curves over finite fields in particular.
Student learning outcomes
