On the homotopy exact sequence for Nori's fundamental group

Abstract

Unlike Grothendieck's \'etale fundamental group, Nori's fundamental group does not fulfill the homotopy exact sequence in general. We give necessary and sufficient conditions which force exactness of the sequence.

Lei Zhang found a gap in the proof of Proposition 3.4. We withdraw the article, at least for the time being
