Extending étale covers from the regular locus to a resolution of singularities
Let $X$ be a normal proper variety with rational singularities (or terminal if that is necessary) and $X_{\text{reg}} \to X$ the regular locus. Let $\pi : \tilde{X} \to X$ be a resolution of ...

Rational varieties over finite fields admit an open set isomorphic to an affine space
This paper roughly claims that given a projective variety $X$ over a finite field, there is a finite map $f:X\rightarrow \mathbb{P}^n$ such that if $H$ is a hyperplane in $\mathbb{P}^n$ and $U=\mathbb{...

Étale covers and birationality of varieties
All varieties are assumed to be projective over $\mathbb{C}$. Let $f_1: Y \to X$ and $f_2: Y' \to X$ be étale morphisms with same finite Galois groups (to be honest, I don't know what does Galois ...
