Generic constructibility and uniformity in \(\ell\) (Q2124312)

The present paper presents various results on generic constructibility and independence of \(\ell\) for direct images in étale cohomology in the case of constant coefficients \(\mathbb{Z}/\ell^n \mathbb{Z}\) or \(\mathbb{Z}_{\ell}\). The author gives an application of a result of Serre of independence of \(\ell\)-adic representations [\textit{J.-P. Serre}, Comment. Math. Helv. 88, No. 3, 541--554 (2013; Zbl 1317.14040)]. Then he formulates questions in the case of nonconstant coefficients.
