On different notions of tameness in arithmetic geometry

Algebraic Geometry 2009-08-11 v2 Number Theory

Abstract

The notion of a tamely ramified covering is canonical only for curves. Several notions of tameness for coverings of higher dimensional schemes have been used in the literature. We show that all these definitions are essentially equivalent. Furthermore, we prove finiteness theorems for the tame fundamental groups of arithmetic schemes.
