 Monsky–Washnitzer cohomology

Monsky–Washnitzer cohomology is a type of cohomology theory developed in the context of the study of schemes, particularly over fields of positive characteristic. It is named after mathematicians Paul Monsky and Michiel Washnitzer, who introduced the concept in 1970s. This cohomology theory is specifically designed to work with algebraic varieties defined over fields of characteristic \( p > 0 \) and offers a way to analyze their geometric and topological properties.
