Does the fundamental group identify group structure on subvarieties of products of curves?
Let $C_1,\dots, C_n$ be smooth curves over $\overline{\mathbb F}_p$, not necessarily proper. Let $X$ be a subvariety of $C_1 \times \dots \times C_n$. I'm interested in the natural map:
$$ \pi_1^{ab}(...

Abelianized fundamental group of a curve over a finite field
Let $X$ be a smooth, projective, and geometrically connected curve over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ and fix a geometric point $\overline{x} : \text{Spec } \overline{\mathbb{F}_q} \to X$. Then there ...

Polynomial equations in many variables have solutions (Lang 1952 paper)
I am trying to understand the proof of the following result:
Suppose $F$ is a function field in $k$ variables over an algebraically closed field. Let $f_1,...,f_r \in F[x_1,...,x_n]$ be ...
