Projection formula

In algebraic geometry, the projection formula states that,^[1][2] for a quasi-compact separated morphism of schemes $f:X\to Y$, a quasi-coherent sheaf ${\mathcal {F}}$ on X, a locally free sheaf ${\mathcal {E}}$ on Y, the natural maps of sheaves

$R^{i}f_{*}{\mathcal {F}}\otimes {\mathcal {E}}\to R^{i}f_{*}({\mathcal {F}}\otimes f^{*}{\mathcal {E}})$

are isomorphisms.

There is yet another projection formula in the setting of étale cohomology.
