Abstract

Let kk be a field, f:XSf:X\rightarrow S a proper morphism between connected schemes proper over kk, xX(k)x\in X(k) lying over sS(k)s\in S(k), XsX_s the fibre of ff over ss, CX\mathcal{C}_X, CS\mathcal{C}_{S}, CXs\mathcal{C}_{X_s} Tannakian categories over X,S,XsX,S,X_s respectively, π(CX,x)\pi(\mathcal{C}_X,x), π(CS,s)\pi(\mathcal{C}_S,s), π(CXs,x)\pi(\mathcal{C}_{X_s},x) the Tannaka group schemes respectively. We give the necessary and sufficient conditions for the exactness of the homotopy sequence π(CXs,x)π(CX,x)π(CS,s)1\pi(\mathcal{C}_{X_s},x)\rightarrow \pi(\mathcal{C}_X,x)\rightarrow \pi(\mathcal{C}_S,s)\rightarrow 1. In particular, we obtain the equivalent conditions for the Kunneth formula of fundamental group schemes for the product X×kYX\times_k Y of two connected schemes XX and YY proper over kk. As an application, we obtain the Kunneth formula of certain fundamental group schemes over any field, such as S, Nori, EN, F, Etale, Loc, ELoc and Unipotent fundamental group schemes.
