Odds and ends on finite group actions and traces
[ Abstract ]
Suppose a finite group G acts on a scheme X separated and of finite type over a field k. This raises several questions about the traces of elements s of G (or more generally products sg, for g in the Galois group of k) on cohomology groups of various types associated with X/k (with compact support or no support, Betti if k = C, l-adic, rigid). Some were considered and solved long ago, others only recently. I will in particular discuss an equivariant generalization of a theorem of Laumon on Euler-Poincar¥'e characteristics.
