Abstract

We consider several conjectures on the independence of ` of the étale cohomology of (singular, open) varieties over F¯p. The main result is that independence of ` of the Betti numbers hic(X,Q`) for arbitrary varieties is equivalent to independence of ` of homological equivalence ∼hom,` for cycles on smooth projective varieties. We give several other equivalent statements. As a surprising consequence, we prove that independence of ` of Betti numbers for smooth quasi-projective varieties implies the same result for arbitrary separated finite type k-schemes.
