Étale Cohomology Mini-Seminar
The Étale Cohomology Mini-Seminar meets every Wednesday from 3:30 to 5:30 in E 27. The seminar mainly follows James Milne's Lectures on Etale Cohomology. As such, many sections of the notes below are adapted from the corresponding sections in Milne's notes, and some statements of propositions and theorems have been lifted verbatim. No impropriety is intended.
