Abstract

Let X be a smooth projective algebraic curve of genus g minus r1r\geq 1 points defined over an algebraically closed field k of characteristic p0p\geq 0. The structure of the largest prime to p quotient of the \'etale fundamental group is well known by transcendental methods : it is isomorphic to the largest prime to p quotient of a free pro-finite group on 2g+r-1 generators. We show that, with purely algebraic means, we can prove the corresponding result for the largest pro-solvable quotient of these groups.
