Homotopy theory and fundamental groups in algebraic geometry (14F35) Singularities of surfaces or higher-dimensional varieties (14J17)

Abstract: Let k be a field, and let {pi}: ilde{X} -> X be a proper birational morphism of irreducible k-varieties, where ilde{X} is smooth and X has at worst quotient singularities. When the characteristic of k is zero, a theorem of Koll'ar in [Ko1] says that {pi} induces an isomorphism of etale fundamental groups. We give a proof of this result which works for all characteristics. As an application, we prove that for a smooth projective irreducible surface X over an algebraically closed field k, the etale fundamental group of the Hilbert scheme of n points of X, where n > 1, is canonically isomorphic to the abelianization of the etale fundamental group of X. Koll'ar has pointed out how the proof of the first result can be extended to cover the case of quotients by finite group schemes.
