Etale Cohomology Theory

Etale cohomology is an important branch in arithmetic geometry. This book covers the main materials in SGA 1, SGA 4, SGA 4 1/2 and SGA 5 on etale cohomology theory, which includes decent theory, etale fundamental groups, Galois cohomology, etale cohomology, derived categories, base change theorems, duality, and l-adic cohomology. The prerequisites for reading this book are basic algebraic geometry and advanced commutative algebra. Table of Contents: Descent Theory; Etale Morphisms and Smooth Morphisms; Etale Fundamental Groups; Group Cohomology and Galois Cohomology; Etale Cohomology; Derived Categories and Derived Functors; Base Change Theorems; Duality; Finiteness Theorems; L-Adic Cohomology.
