Let $\Lambda$ be a line arrangement in $\mathbb{P}^2$ and $n > 0$ an integer. Then Hirzebruch defined a smooth projective surface $H(\Lambda, n)$ as the minimal desingularization of a covering $Y \...

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 ...

Let $X$ be a smooth, projective complex curve of genus at least $2$. If I understand correctly, after choosing a base point, one can associate to $X$, a fundamental group scheme $\pi$. I am trying to ...

Let $X$ be an irreducible variety defined over $\mathbf{F}_p$. What's the "arithmetic fundamental group" of $X$? How does this relate to the algebraic fundamental group of a scheme? What's a good ...

Let $CH_0(X)^0$ denote the group of zero cycles of degree zero modulo rational equivalence. I am looking for a reference for the following fact: If $X$ and $Y$ are smooth and projective varieties ...

Grothendieck calls a "discretification" of a profinite group $\widehat G$, a discrete group $G$ whose profinite completion is isomorphic to $\widehat G$. Does Grothendieck also define a notion of ...
