The tame Nori fundamental group

Algebraic Geometry 2025-06-16 v2

Abstract

We introduce three notion of tameness of the Nori fundamental group scheme for a normal quasiprojective variety XX over an algebraically closed field. It is proved that these three notions agree if XX admits a smooth completion with strict normal crossing divisor as the complement. We also prove a Lefschetz type restriction theorem for the tame Nori fundamental group scheme for such an XX.
