Pro-étale cohomology

5.1. Preliminaries about the étale topology🔗

Before going to the pro-étale case, we recall a few preliminary results about the étale site that we will need in the sequel. Let X be a scheme. By \et{X} we denote the étale site of X and by \affet{X} the affine étale site. \affet{X} consists of affine schemes étale over X.

The inclusion functor \affet{X} \to \et{X} is cover dense, i.e. for every Y in \et{X} there exists a cover \{U_i \to Y\} with U_i in \affet{X}.

This is immediate, because open immersions are étale and étale is stable under composition.
