Lemma 69.9.3. Let S be a scheme. Let f : X \to Y be an étale morphism of algebraic spaces over S. Let Z \subset Y be a closed subspace such that f^{-1}(Z) \to Z is an isomorphism of algebraic spaces. Let \mathcal{F} be an abelian sheaf on X. Then
\mathcal{H}^ q_ Z(\mathcal{F}) = \mathcal{H}^ q_{f^{-1}(Z)}(f^{-1}\mathcal{F})
as abelian sheaves on Z = f^{-1}(Z) and we have H^ q_ Z(Y, \mathcal{F}) = H^ q_{f^{-1}(Z)}(X, f^{-1}\mathcal{F}).
Proof.
Because f is étale an injective resolution of \mathcal{F} pulls back to an injective resolution of f^{-1}\mathcal{F}. Hence it suffices to check the equality for \mathcal{H}_ Z(-) which follows from the definitions. The proof for cohomology with supports is the same. Some details omitted.
