TLDR: How is the Galois action on étale path torsors defined? Let $X$ be a smooth proper scheme, over a field $k$, and let $x,y\in X(k)$ be a pair of points. Let $\pi_1^{\text{ét}}(\overline{X},\...

My limited knowledge so far is that some groups have been constructed geometrically using the theory of covering spaces, then applying Hilbert irreducibility. Is there a deeper way in which inverse ...

I'm currently working on my undergraduate dissertation. I'm working on covering sapces of Riemann surfaces so my supervisor asked me to read the book I mention in the title: "Algébre et Théories ...

I'm currently attempting to understand Galois theory for schemes, largely following the books Galois Theory for Schemes by Henrik Lenstra and Galois Groups and Fundamental Groups by Tamas Szamuely. ...

Let $F$ be a field. By a Galois algebra over $F$ I mean a finite etale extension, that is, a product $K = K_1 \times \cdots \times K_r$ of finite (separable) field extensions, of total degree $[K : F]...

Here are four possible definitions for an etale, finite, surjective map $X\rightarrow Y$ between integral schemes to be considered Galois: There exists a finite group $G$, and an action $\varphi: G\...
