Abstract: Let X be a reduced connected k-scheme pointed at a rational point xinX(k). By using tannakian techniques we construct the Galois closure of an essentially finite k-morphism f:YoX satisfying the condition H0(Y,mathcalOY)=k; this Galois closure is a torsor p:hatXYoX dominating f by an X-morphism lambda:hatXYoY and universal for this property. Moreover we show that lambda:hatXYoY is a torsor under some finite group scheme we describe. Furthermore we prove that the direct image of an essentially finite vector bundle over Y is still an essentially finite vector bundle over X. We develop for torsors and essentially finite morphisms a Galois correspondence similar to the usual one. As an application we show that for any pointed torsor f:YoX under a finite group scheme satisfying the condition H0(Y,mathcalOY)=k, Y has a fundamental group scheme pi1(Y,y) fitting in a short exact sequence with pi1(X,x).
