Nori's Fundamental Group over a non Algebraically Closed Field

Algebraic Geometry 2018-11-21 v4

Abstract

In this note we generalize Nori's definition of the fundamental group scheme from a rational point to an arbitrary base point so that when we take XX to be a field kk and the point to be kkˉk\subseteq \bar{k} we still get a non trivial group scheme which is similar to the absolute Galois group Gal(kˉ/k){\rm Gal}(\bar{k}/k). Then we try to understand the group scheme at various levels.
