MATH 7390: Topics in Algebra: Etale cohomology (Spring 2011)

Instructor: Ravi Ramakrishna

This will be a continuation of my fall course. We'll cover the latter half of Milne's book, Etale Cohomology. This will include Poincaré duality and the rationality and functional equation of the L-function of a smooth projective variety over a finite field.
