Etale cobordism
[ Abstract ]
We define and study a new candidate of etale topological cohomology theories for schemes over a field of abritrary characteristic: etale cobordism. As etale K-theory is related to algebraic K-theory, etale cobordism is related to algebraic cobordism of Voevodsky and Levine/Morel. It shares some nice properties of topological theories, e.g. it is equipped with an Atiyah-Hirzebruch spectral sequence from etale cohomology. We discuss in particular a comparison theorem between etale and algebraic cobordism after inverting a Bott element and, finally, we give an outlook to further possible applications of this theory.
