Abstract

Let XX be a coherent scheme and let Gal(X)\operatorname{Gal}(X) denote the Galois category of XX, as introduced by Barwick, Glasman and Haine. In this paper we prove that the hypercomplete pro-\'etale \infty-topos XproetX_{\operatorname{proet}} of XX, introduced by Bhatt and Scholze, is equivalent to the category of continuous representations of Gal(X)\operatorname{Gal}(X) with values in the \infty-category of pyknotic spaces.

Final version, to appear in Documenta Mathematica. Theorem 3.11 now explicitly describes the functors in both directions; many other minor changes to improve readability
