For non-commutative schemes which are finite over centers, we prove the finiteness theorem for the higher direct images in étale cohomology theory, and the comparison theorem between étale cohomology and Betti cohomology. In Appendix, for non-commutative schemes over finite fields which are finite over centers and satisfy a certain condition, $L$-functions are expressed by using étale cohomology with compact supports.Read More
