Let $X$ be a smooth curve over a finitely generated field $k$, and let $\ell$ be a prime different from the characteristic of $k$. We analyze the dynamics of the Galois action on the deformation rings of mod $\ell$ representations of the…

Let $X$ be a smooth scheme over a finite field of characteristic $p$. In answer to a conjecture of Deligne, we establish that for any prime $\ell \neq p$, an $\ell$-adic Weil sheaf on $X$ which is algebraic (or irreducible with finite…

In topology, the notions of the fundamental group and the universal cover are closely intertwined. By importing usual notions from topology into the algebraic and arithmetic setting, we construct a fundamental group family from a universal…

It was recently proven by Esnault, Shusterman and the second named author, that the \'etale fundamental group of a connected smooth projective variety over an algebraically closed field $k$ is finitely presented. In this note, we extend…

We show that for any given field $k$ and natural number $r\geq2$, every continuous extension of the absolute Galois group $\mathrm{Gal}_k$ by a finite group is the arithmetic fundamental group of a geometrically connected smooth projective…

We show that the algebraic fundamental group of a smooth projective curve over a finite field admits a finite topological presentation where the number of relations does not exceed the number of generators.

In this talk, I report on three theorems concerning algebraic varieties over a field of characteristic $p>0$. a) over a finite field of cardinal $q$, two proper smooth varieties which are geometrically birational have the same number of…

The affine line and the punctured affine line over a finite field F are taken as benchmarks for the problem of describing geometric \'etale fundamental groups. To this end, using a reformulation of Tannaka duality we construct for a…

We study the collection of group structures that can be realized as a group of rational points on an elliptic curve over a finite field (such groups are well known to be of rank at most two). We also study various subsets of this collection…

If $C$ is a smooth curve over an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic $p$, then the structure of the maximal prime to $p$ quotient of the \'etale fundamental group is known by analytic methods. In this paper, we discuss the…

Revised: just some typos, reorganized a bit the article. It will be published in the VIASM Annual meeting, Hanoi. We give a detailed account of Deligne's letter to Drinfeld dated June 18, 2011, in which he shows that there are finitely many…

Let X be a smooth or proper variety defined over a finite field. The geometric etale fundamental group of X is a normal subgroup of the Weil group, so conjugation gives it a Weil action. We consider the pro-Q_l-algebraic completion of the…

We study integral points on varieties with infinite \'etale fundamental groups. More precisely, for a number field $F$ and $X/F$ a smooth projective variety, we prove that for any geometrically Galois cover $\varphi\colon Y \to X$ of degree…

Let $A$ be an abelian variety defined over a field $K.$ We study finite generation properties of the profinite group $\mathrm{Gal}(\Omega/K)$ and of certain closed normal subgroups thereof, where $\Omega$ is the torsion field of $A$ over…

Arithmetical properties of a finite group are properties of the group which are defined by its arithmetical parameters such as the order of the group, the element orders and so on. In this paper, we discuss a number of results on…

We introduce the category of finite \'etale covers of an arbitrary schematic finite space $X$ and show that, equipped with an appropriate natural fiber functor, it is a Galois Category. This allows us to define the \'etale fundamental group…

We explicitly calculate an arithmetic adelic quotient group for a locally free sheaf on an arithmetic surface when the fiber over the infinite point of the base is taken into account. The calculations are presented via a short exact…

Let $X$ be a smooth projective variety over a finitely generated field $K$ of characteristic $p>0$. We proved that the finiteness of the $\ell$-primary part of $\mathrm{Br}(X_{K^s})^{G_K}$ for a single prime $\ell\neq p$ will imply the…

In this paper we study higher level Deligne--Lusztig representations of reductive groups over discrete valuation rings, with finite residue field $\mathbb{F}_q$. In previous work we proved that, at even levels, these geometrically…

One extends P. Deligne's notion of integrality over a finite field for a $\ell$-adic sheaf on a scheme of finite type over a local field with finite residue field. One shows that this integrality notion is preserved by $Rf_!$, as it is over…
