Download or read book Real and Etale Cohomology written by Claus Scheiderer and published by Springer. This book was released on 2006-11-15 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book makes a systematic study of the relations between the étale cohomology of a scheme and the orderings of its residue fields. A major result is that in high degrees, étale cohomology is cohomology of the real spectrum. It also contains new contributions in group cohomology and in topos theory. It is of interest to graduate students and researchers who work in algebraic geometry (not only real) and have some familiarity with the basics of étale cohomology and Grothendieck sites. Independently, it is of interest to people working in the cohomology theory of groups or in topos theory.
