Is there a Seifert–van Kampen theorem for etale fondemental group? (for example for varieties over a non-algebraically closed field) Any example is welcome.

    $\begingroup$ Is this SGA1 IX.5.1 (in this case where S' is the disjoint union of two open sets covering S)? $\endgroup$ Commented Dec 9, 2018 at 14:53

    $\begingroup$ It is even easier than SvK for the topological fundamental group, as it simply amounts to etale descent for finite etale covers. $\endgroup$ Commented Dec 9, 2018 at 14:58

  • $\begingroup$ @Z.Zhou If possible, once you get some idea can you write down some rough sketch here... $\endgroup$ Commented Dec 9, 2018 at 15:46
