Abstract

Let XX be an algebraic scheme over an algebraically closed field and \ell a prime number invertible on XX. According to classical results (due essentially to A. Grothendieck, M. Artin and P. Deligne), the \'etale cohomology groups Hi(X,Z/Z)\mathrm{H}^i(X,\mathbb{Z}/\ell\mathbb{Z}) are finite-dimensional. Using an \ell-adic variant of M. Artin's good neighborhoods and elementary results on the cohomology of pro-\ell groups, we express the cohomology of XX as a well controlled colimit of that of toposes constructed on BGBG where the GG are computable finite \ell-groups. From this, we deduce that the Betti numbers modulo \ell of XX are algorithmically computable (in the sense of Church-Turing). The proof of this fact, along with certain related results, occupies the first part of this paper. This relies on the tools collected in the second part, which deals with computational algebraic geometry. Finally, in the third part, we present a "universal" formalism for computation on the elements of a field.

In French. v2 has been considerably reworked and expanded. v3 incorporates slight corrections and simplifications and a few additions (notably: computability of the morphism from hyper\v{c}ech cohomology, graded algebra structure, and a worked out example); submitted for publication
