Towers of torsors over a field

Abstract

Let XX be a projective, connected and smooth scheme defined over an algebraically closed field kk. In this paper we prove that a tower of finite torsors (i.e., under the action of finite kk-group schemes) can be dominated by a single finite torsor. Let GG be any finite kk-group scheme and YY any GG--torsor over XX pointed in yY(k)y\,\in\, Y(k); we define over YY, which may not be reduced, in a very natural way the categories of Nori-semistable and essentially finite vector bundles. These categories are proved to be Tannakian. Their Galois kk-group schemes πS(Y,y)\pi^S(Y,\,y) and πN(Y,y)\pi^N(Y,\,y), respectively, thus generalize the SS--fundamental and the Nori fundamental group schemes. The latter still classifies all the finite torsors over YY, pointed over yy. We also prove that they fit in short exact sequences involving πS(X,x)\pi^S(X,\,x) and πN(X,x)\pi^N(X,\, x) respectively, where xx is the image of yy.
