Finite presentation of the tame fundamental group

From MaRDI portal
Publication:2071747



Abstract: Let p be a prime number, and let k be an algebraically closed field of characteristic p. We show that the tame fundamental group of a smooth affine curve over k is a projective profinite group. We prove that the fundamental group of a smooth projective variety over k is finitely presented. More generally we prove that the tame fundamental group of a smooth quasi-projective variety over k which admits a good compactification is finitely presented. v2: references added. Thank you to all for the friendly and fruitful comments.
