Étale cohomology
In mathematics, the étale cohomology theory of algebraic geometry is a refined construction of homological algebra, introduced in order to attack the Weil conjectures. This eventually proved successful as a strategy, although Dwork managed to prove the rationality part of the conjectures in 1960 using p-adic methods; the remaining conjectures awaited the development of étale cohomology.
