Course description and aims
Motivated by Weil's beautiful conjectures on zeta functions counting points on varieties over finite fields, étale cohomology is a theory generalising singular cohomology of complex algebraic varieties. In the first half we give an introduction to the classical theory of étale cohomology. In the second half, we will discuss Bhatt-Scholze's pro-étale topology. For more information see: http://www.math.titech.ac.jp/~shanekelly/EtaleCohomology2019SS.html
Student learning outcomes
(1) Obtain overall knowledge on basics in étale cohomology
(2) Understand the relationship between étale topology and Galois theory
(3) Attain understanding of possible applications of étale topology
Keywords
Étale cohomology, homological algebra, Galois theory
