\'Etale Covers and Fundamental Groups of Schematic Finite Spaces

We introduce the category of finite \'etale covers of an arbitrary schematic finite space $X$ and show that, equipped with an appropriate natural fiber functor, it is a Galois Category. This allows us to define the \'etale fundamental group of schematic spaces. If $X$ is a finite model of a scheme $S$, we show that the resulting Galois theory on $X$ coincides with the classical theory of finite \'etale covers on $S$ and therefore we recover the classical \'etale fundamental group introduced by Grothendieck. In order to prove these results it is crucial to find a suitable geometric notion of connectedness for schematic finite spaces and also to study their geometric points. We achieve these goals by means of the strong cohomological constraints enjoyed by schematic finite spaces.
