Etale Cohomology and the Weil Conjecture

Viac o knihe

Focusing on l-adic cohomology, this book presents an accessible introduction to etale and l-adic cohomology theory, including monodromy theory related to Lefschetz pencils. Originally prepared as notes for a conference on Deligne's proof of the Weil conjectures, the authors expanded these notes to provide a self-contained exploration of the topic. It incorporates historical insights from Professor J. A. Dieudonne and has been translated into English, thanks to the efforts of Professor W. Waterhouse and his wife.
