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. ...

Explicit computations of the étale homotopy type?
Hi,
I'm currently trying to learn about etale homotopy for schemes as introduced by Artin-Mazur. I know that by the Artin-Mazur comparision theorem, it is possible to compute the etale homotopy type ...

Which of these 4 definitions of Galois coverings of integral schemes are equivalent?
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\...

Under what conditions is the induced map of etale fundamental groups surjective?
Let $f:X \to Y$ be a morphism of schemes. I am interested in sufficient conditions on $f$ which would ensure that the induced map $\pi_1^{et}(X) \to \pi_1^{et}(Y)$ of etale fundamental groups is ...

Constructible étale sheaves on X are étale algebraic spaces over X
I saw the following statement in a paper of Bhatt-Mathew:
Let $X$ be a quasicompact quasiseparated scheme. Then there is an equivalence of categories between constructible étale sheaves (of sets) on ...

Structure of fundamental groups arising from smooth projective morphisms
Let $f:X\to B$ be a smooth projective morphism of complex algebraic varieties.
If $f$ is of relative dimension zero, i.e., $f$ is a finite etale cover, then the image of the topological fundamental ...

The étale fundamental group in the non-normal case
It is known, that the étale fundamental group of a normal connected scheme equals the galois group of the maximal unramified extension of its function field.
This is not true for integral schemes in ...

Killing cohomology of structure sheaf by pullback along Frobenius and finite etale covers
On a smooth projective variety $X$ over a finite field, you can pullback any element in $H^1(X,\mathcal{O}_X)$ by a combination of Frobenius and finite etale cover so it gets killed. In order to prove ...

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 \...
