Abstract
We define and study a Weil-étale topos for any regular, proper scheme over which has some of the properties suggested by Lichtenbaum for such a topos. In particular, the cohomology with -coefficients has the expected relation to at if the Hasse–Weil L-functions have the expected meromorphic continuation and functional equation. If has characteristic the cohomology with -coefficients also has the expected relation to and our cohomology groups recover those previously studied by Lichtenbaum and Geisser.
