Abstract: In this article we study various forms of ell-independence (including the case ell=p) for the cohomology and fundamental groups of varieties over finite fields and equicharacteristic local fields. Our first result is a strong form of ell-independence for the unipotent fundamental group of smooth and projective varieties over finite fields, by then proving a certain `spreading out' result we are able to deduce a much weaker form of ell-independence for unipotent fundamental groups over equicharacteristic local fields, at least in the semistable case. In a similar vein, we can also use this to deduce ell-independence results for the cohomology of semistable varieties from the well-known results on ell-independence for smooth and proper varieties over finite fields. As another consequence of this `spreading out' result we are able to deduce the existence of a Clemens--Schmid exact sequence for formal semistable families. Finally, by deforming to characteristic p we show a similar weak version of ell-independence for the unipotent fundamental group of a semistable curve in mixed characteristic.
