Let $X$ be a proper smooth curve over a field $k$. Then we have an exact sequence of profinite groups \begin{equation*} 1 \to \pi_1(X_{\overline k}) \to \pi_1(X) \to G_k \to 1, \end{equation*} ...

Does every profinite group arise as the étale fundamental group of a connected scheme? Equivalently, does every Galois category arise as the category of finite étale covers of a connected scheme? ...

Let $X$ be a pointed algebraic variety over the field of complex numbers $\mathbb{C}$. Let $\pi_1^{\rm top}(X)$ and $\pi_1^{\mathrm{\acute{e}t}}(X)$ denote the topological and the étale fundamental ...
