Theorem 64.3.9. Let \mathcal{F} be an abelian sheaf on X_{\acute{e}tale}. Then for all j\geq 0, \text{frob}_ k acts on the cohomology group H^ j(X_{\bar k}, \mathcal{F}|_{X_{\bar k}}) as the inverse of the map \pi _ X^*.
Proof. The composition X_{\bar k} \xrightarrow {\mathop{\mathrm{Spec}}(\text{frob}_ k)} X_{\bar k} \xrightarrow {\pi _ X} X_{\bar k} is equal to F_{X_{\bar k}}^ f, hence the result follows from the baffling theorem suitably generalized to nontrivial coefficients. Note that the previous composition commutes in the sense that F_{X_{\bar k}}^ f = \pi _ X \circ \mathop{\mathrm{Spec}}(\text{frob}_ k) = \mathop{\mathrm{Spec}}(\text{frob}_ k) \circ \pi _ X. \square
