A comparison theorem for l-adic cohomology

We show that, for certain types of rigid analytic varieties X and constructible l-adic sheaves (F_n)_n on, one has . As an application we obtain that, for an algebraic variety X and associated rigid analytic variety X^rig, the l-adic cohomology of X and X^rig agree.

Miscellany on traces in ℓ-adic cohomology: a survey

We discuss classical questions concerning traces of elements of Galois groups or correspondences in ℓ-adic cohomology, mostly over finite or local fields, such as rationality and independence of ℓ, integrality, congruences modulo powers of ℓ or p. We report on the progress that has been made on this topic during the past ten years.     

A duality theorem for generalized local cohomology

We prove a duality theorem for graded algebras over a field that implies several known duality results: graded local duality, versions of Serre duality for local cohomology and of Suzuki duality for generalized local cohomology, and Herzog-Rahimi bigraded duality.

     

On the comparison theorem for étale cohomology of non-Archimedean analytic spaces

Let ϕ:Y →X be a morphism of finite type between schemes of locally finite type over a non-Archimedean fieldk, and letF be an étale constructible sheaf onY. In [Ber2] we proved that if the torsion orders ofF are prime to the characteristic of the residue field ofk then the canonical homomorphisms (R ^Q ϱ*F)^an →R ^q ϱ _* ^an F ^an are isomorphisms. In this paper we extend the above result to the class of sheavesF with torsion orders prime to the characteristic ofk.     

A comparison theorem

The existence of an explosive singularity in the unsteady boundary layer on a rotating disc in a counter-rotating fluid has now been shown incontrovertibly following the work of K. Stewartson, C. J. Simpson, and R. J. Bodonyi (J. Fluid. Mech.121 (1982), 507–515). Here, we develop some asymptotic results for the governing differential equations to help gain an understanding of the mechanism behind this phenomenon. No definite conclusions are possible, but the presence of inertial oscillations at the edge of the boundary layer could well play a definite role.     

A vanishing theorem for operations on entire cyclic cohomology

We prove the Lie action of Hochschild cohomology on entire cyclic cohomology is trivial. This, in particular, should imply the invariance of entire theory under suitable deformations.     

A 2-adic automorphy lifting theorem for unitary groups over CM fields

We prove a ‘minimal’ type automorphy lifting theorem for 2-adic Galois representations of unitary type, over imaginary CM fields. We use this to improve an automorphy lifting theorem of Kisin for \({{\mathrm{GL}}}_2\).     

A separation theorem and Serre duality for the Dolbeault cohomology

LetX be a complex manifold with finitely many ends such that each end is eitherq-concave or (n−q)-convex. If , then we prove thatH ^pn−q (X) is Hausdorff for allp. This is not true in general if (Rossi’s example withn=2 andq=1). If all ends areq-concave, then this is the classical Andreotti-Vesentini separation theorem (and holds also for ). Moreover the result was already known in the case when theq-concave ends can be ‘filled in’ (again also for ). To prove the result we first have to study Serre duality for the case of more general families of supports (instead of the family of all closed sets and the family of all compact sets) which is the main part of the paper. At the end we give an application to the extensibility of CR-forms of bidegree (p, q) from (n−q)-convex boundaries, .

Cyclic cohomology and the family Lefschetz theorem

Any closed current on the base of a compact fibration gives rise to a cyclic cocycle on the smooth convolution algebra. We prove that such cocycle furnishes additive maps from the vertically equivariant K-theory to the scalars. This enables to associate to any closed current on the base of the fibration, a Lefschetz formula for fiber-preserving isometries. Using geometric operators on the base, we deduce the integrality of some characteristic numbers. Received: 28 June 2001 / Published online: 1 February 2002     

The crossed coproduct theorem and Galois cohomology

We give a cohomological interpretation of the Brauer group of a coalgebra in terms of Galois coextensions and Galois cohomology. There is a crossed coproduct structure theorem, and the co-version of the classical splitting theorem holds for the Brauer group of an irreducible coreflexive coalgebra but it does not hold in general.     

A general extension theorem for cohomology classes on non reduced analytic subspaces

The main purpose of this paper is to generalize the celebrated L~2 extension theorem of Ohsawa and Takegoshi in several directions: The holomorphic sections to extend are taken in a possibly singular hermitian line bundle, the subvariety from which the extension is performed may be non reduced, the ambient manifold is K¨ahler and holomorphically convex, but not necessarily compact.
