Pro-algebraic fundamental groups
Let $X$ be a smooth projective variety over an algebraically closed field $K$ of characteristic zero and fix a point $x\in X(K)$.
We can associate to $X$ two Tannakian categories: the category of ...

Do surface groups embed into PSL_2 over a real quadratic integer ring?
$\DeclareMathOperator\PSL{PSL}$ Let $ \mathbb{Z} $ be the ring of integers and $ \mathbb{R} $ the field of real numbers. Let $ \Sigma_g $ be a surface of genus $ g \geq 2 $. Let $ \pi_1(\Sigma_g) $ be ...

Is $H_{et}^1(X,F) = H^1(\pi_1^{et}(X), F(\bar{k}))$ true?
Let $X$ be a smooth geometrically connected scheme over a field $k$ of characteristic 0 (but not necessarily algebraically closed, I can take it to be a number field). Let $F$ be a finite algebraic ...

Etale fundamental of a parahoric group scheme
Let $p:X\rightarrow Y$ be a double cover of curves, denote by $$SU_n:=(p_*SL_n(\mathcal O_X))^{\tilde{\sigma}}$$
i.e. the $\tilde{\sigma}-$invariant part, the action of $\tilde{\sigma}$ is given by $$\...

How bad can $\pi_1$ of a linear group orbit be?
Let $G$ be a simply connected Lie group and $\mathcal O= G(v)=G/G_v$ a $G$-orbit in some finite-dimensional $G$-module $V$. By the homotopy exact sequence, its fundamental group $\Gamma$ is the ...

fundamental group and torus action
Let $T$ be the complex torus acting on a complex connected algebraic variety $X$
and let $p \colon X\rightarrow Y$ be a good quotient for this action.
For any $y\in Y$ we have a sequence $p^{-1}(y) \...

Lie Algebras and Simple Connectivity for general algebraic groups
In the representation theory of Lie groups (say, over $\mathbb{R}$ or $\mathbb{C}$), one can show that a Lie algebra homomorphism between the Lie algebras of two algebraic groups $G$ and $H$ always ...

Fundamental group of Lie groups
Let $T$ be a torus $V/\Gamma$, $\gamma$ a loop on $T$ based at the origin. Then it is easy to see that $$2 \gamma = \gamma \ast \gamma \in \pi_1(T).$$
Here $2 \gamma$ is obtained by rescaling $\gamma$...
