Abstract: Given a quasi-projective variety X with only Kawamata log terminal singularities, we study the obstructions to extending finite 'etale covers from the smooth locus Xmathrmreg of X to X itself. A simplified version of our main results states that there exists a Galois cover YightarrowX, ramified only over the singularities of X, such that the 'etale fundamental groups of Y and of Ymathrmreg agree. In particular, every 'etale cover of Ymathrmreg extends to an 'etale cover of Y. As first major application, we show that every flat holomorphic bundle defined on Ymathrmreg extends to a flat bundle that is defined on all of Y. As a consequence, we generalise a classical result of Yau to the singular case: every variety with at worst terminal singularities and with vanishing first and second Chern class is a finite quotient of an Abelian variety. As a further application, we verify a conjecture of Nakayama and Zhang describing the structure of varieties that admit polarised endomorphisms.
