Cohomologically smooth morphisms for étale $\mathbb F_p$-sheaves in characteristic $p$
Felix Lotter
Abstract
We scrutinise the notions of cohomologically smooth morphisms and smooth objects for the six functor formalism of étale $\mathbb F_p$-sheaves on schemes in characteristic $p$. We show that only cohomologically étale morphisms are cohomologically smooth in this setting. This is complemented by a characterisation of cohomologically étale morphisms in arbitrary characteristic. In fact, we prove that such a morphism is already étale up to universal homeomorphism.
