Semisimplicity conjecture in étale cohomology
Other
Anna Cadoret and her collaborators have recently proved the analogue of the celebrated theorem that Deligne published in 1980 [D80]. The latter was established for l-adic cohomology while the result of [CHT17] holds for étale cohomology with finite coefficients. This result gives a new enlight in the frame of étale cohomology to one of the most fascinating conjectures of algebraic geometry, the semi-simplicity conjecture.
