Contents
Étale cohomology, developed by M. Artin and A. Grothendieck, is a theory for varieties and schemes which is used in algebraic geometry and in number theory. For algebraic varieties over arbitrary fields, it is a theory which is as useful as singular cohomology theory is for complex manifolds, and it was an essential tool in Deligne's proof of the Weil conjectures.
