Relationships among constructions of fundamental group for schemes

There seem to be several constructions of fundamental group for schemes and stacks: by Grothendieck, Deligne, Nori, Noohi, Esnault-Hai, Vakil-Wickelgren, perhaps others as well. I am trying to ...

Galois theory, topos vs fundamental groups

Classical Galois theory states that the etale topos X of a field k is equivalent to the classifying topos of the absolute Galois group of k. (Marc Hoyois, Higher Galois theory, $\S$3, arXiv:1506....

Inverse galois problem and étale homotopy

Is there any relation between étale homotopy theory (Grothendieck-Galois theory) and the inverse Galois problem?...I mean...in classical homotopy theory, every finite group $G$ realizes as a "Galois ...

Profinite groups as étale fundamental groups

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? ...

What are the different theories that the motivic fundamental group attempts to unify?

I must preface by confessing complete ignorance in the subject. I've read introductory texts about the theory of motives, but I am certainly no expert. In http://www.math.ias.edu/files/deligne/...

Grothendieck's Galois Theory today

I have recently become aware of, and started to study in my free time (abundant in these summer months) Grothendieck's Galois Theory (GGT), as formulated in SGA 1 and later by Grothendieck's ...

Fundamental groups of topoi

Just yesterday I heard of the notion of a fundamental group of a topos, so I looked it up on the nLab, where the following nice definition is given: If $T$ is a Grothendieck topos arising as category ...
