Abstract: Let X be a noetherian scheme. We denote by Pi1(X) the fundamental groupoid. In this paper we prove that the assignments UmapstoPi1(U) is the 2-terminal costack over the site of 'etale coverings of X.


In [Georgian Math. J. 22, 563--571 (2015; Zbl 1339.18006)], the author proves that the 2-categorical version of the Seifert-van Kampen theorem holds for the fundamental groupoid of a topological space. As a continuation, the author studies the étale version in the paper under review. More precisely, for a Noetherian scheme \(X\), the assignment \(\Pi_1\) on the site of finite étale covering of \(X\) sends \(Y\) to its étale fundamental groupoid \(\Pi_1(Y)\). The main result is that \(\Pi_1\) is a costack over the finite étale site. Moreover, this costack is the associated costack of the constant trivial pseduofunctor.
