Abstract

We define, for a regular scheme SS and a given field of characteristic zero \KK\KK, the notion of \KK\KK-linear mixed Weil cohomology on smooth SS-schemes by a simple set of properties, mainly: Nisnevich descent, homotopy invariance, stability (which means that the cohomology of \GGm\GG_{m} behaves correctly), and K\"unneth formula. We prove that any mixed Weil cohomology defined on smooth SS-schemes induces a symmetric monoidal realization of some suitable triangulated category of motives over SS to the derived category of the field \KK\KK. This implies a finiteness theorem and a Poincar\'e duality theorem for such a cohomology with respect to smooth and projective SS-schemes (which can be extended to smooth SS-schemes when SS is the spectrum of a perfect field). This formalism also provides a convenient tool to understand the comparison of such cohomology theories. Our main examples are algebraic de Rham cohomology and rigid cohomology, and the Berthelot-Ogus isomorphism relating them.
