Absolute Poincaré duality in étale cohomology

Adeel A. Khan

Abstract

We extend Poincaré duality in étale cohomology from smooth schemes to regular ones. This is achieved via a formalism of trace maps for local complete intersection morphisms.

Key Result

Theorem 1

Let $X$ be a smooth $S$-scheme of relative dimension $d$. Then there is a canonical isomorphism in the derived category $\operatorname{\mathbf{D}\xspace}(X_\mathrm{\acute{e}t}\xspace, \Lambda)$ of étale sheaves of $\Lambda$-modules on $X$, where $f : X \to S$ is the structural morphism. In particular, there is a canonical isomorphism
