Characterize descents of geometric finite étale cover by means of homotopy exact sequence

Let $X/k$ be a geometrically connected $k$-variety (=separated of finite type, esp quasi-compact; the base field $k$ assumed to be separable, so $\overline{k}=k^{\text{sep}}$), $\overline{X} := X \...

Base change for fundamental group prime to p in mixed characteristic?

I found the answer to this question while typing it up, but since I've already written it, it is probably worthwhile to post-and-answer in case someone finds it useful. Let $S=\operatorname{Spec}\...

Projection from closure of locally closed subscheme is Etale

Let $S$ an arbitrary scheme and denote by $\Delta: S \to S \times S$ the diagonal immersion and $p_i: S \times S \to S$ the both projections to first resp second factor. (in following we will wlog ...

Are higher etale homotopy groups topological groups in a natural way?

Since etale fundamental group of a scheme $X$ is the group of natural automorphisms of the fibre functor of the category of finite etale covers of $X$, it comes with structure of a topological group. ...

Artin approximation of a diagram

Let consider $f:(X,x)\to (Z,z)$ and $g:(Y,y)\to (Z,z)$ morphisms of pointed $k$-schemes of finite type ($k$ is a field). Suppose that there exists a map on the level of formal neighborhoods $\phi:X_{x}...
