Galois Categories and Étale Fundamental Groups Semester SoSe 2026
Lecturer Moritz Kerz, Andrea Panontin, Yuenian Zhou
Type of course (Veranstaltungsart) Seminar
German title Galois-Kategorien und étale Fundamentalgruppen
Contents This reading seminar is devoted to Grothendieck's formalism of Galois categories
and étale fundamental groups. Starting from the analogy between classical
Galois theory, finite topological covering spaces and finite étale covers of
schemes, we will develop the abstract theory of Galois categories and their
fundamental groups, and then apply it to the construction and study of the
étale fundamental group of a scheme.
The aim is to build a conceptual bridge between algebra, topology, and algebraic
geometry: after setting up the general Galois category formalism, we will
interpret the category of finite étale covers of a scheme as a Galois category,
identify its fundamental group with the étale fundamental group, and discuss
its basic properties such as homotopy exact sequences, the relation between
geometric and arithmetic fundamental groups, comparison with the topological
fundamental group over complex field, and specialization in families of schemes.
