We study the properness of the functor of $F$-trivial bundles by relating it to the base change question for the fundamental group scheme of Nori.

Let $X$ be a projective, connected and smooth scheme defined over an algebraically closed field $k$. In this paper we prove that a tower of finite torsors (i.e., under the action of finite $k$-group schemes) can be dominated by a single…

Let $U$ be a smooth and connected curve over an algebraically closed field of positive characteristic, with smooth compactification $X$. We generalize classical Geometric Class Field theory to provide a classification of fppf $G$-torsors…

This article studies an extended Nori and local fundamental group schemes of Abelian varieties. We also discuss the birational invariance of these group schemes and study their behaviour under the Albanese and \'{e}tale morphisms.

It is shown that if a finite generically smooth morphism $f\,:\,Y\,\longrightarrow\, X$ of smooth projective varieties induces an isomorphism of the \'etale fundamental groups, then the induced map of the stratified fundamental groups…

We study the interplay between noncommutative tori and noncommutative elliptic curves through a category of equivariant differential modules on $\mathbb{C}^*$. We functorially relate this category to the category of holomorphic vector…

We provide for all prime numbers $p$ examples of smooth projective curves over a field of characteristic $p$ for which base change of the fundamental group scheme fails. This is intimately related to how $F$-trivial vector bundles, i.e.…

On $X$ projective smooth over an algebraically closed field, we show that if Nori's fundamental group scheme is trivial, then there are no nontrivial Nori semistable bundles of degree 0, that is the group scheme $\pi^S(X)$ studied in…

We prove Bertini type theorems and give some applications of them. The applications are in the context of Lefschetz theorem for Nori fundamental group for normal varieties as well as for geometric formal orbifolds. In another application,…

We study finite and semi-finite vector bundles on complex tori. We give an explicit decomposition of such bundles in terms of torsion and unipotent factors. As a consequence, we prove that the extended Nori fundamental group scheme of a…

Let M be an irreducible smooth projective variety defined over \bar{{\mathbb F}_p}. Let \pi(M, x_0) be the fundamental group scheme of M with respect to a base point x_0. Let G be a connected semisimple linear algebraic group over…

We follow the pattern in a recent paper of Otabe [Ota15] to define an action of the \'etale fundamental group scheme $\pi^\text{et}(X)$ on the local component of the essentially finite fundamental group scheme $\pi^{\mathrm{EF}}(X)$ of…

In \cite{armstrong}, M. Armstrong proved a beautiful result describing fundamental groups of quotient spaces. In this paper we prove an analogue of Armstrong's theorem in the setting of $F$-divided \cite{dS07} and essentially finite…

We prove constancy of Newton polygons of all convergent $F$-isocrystals on Abelian varieties over finite fields. Applying the constancy, we prove the isotriviality of projective smooth families of curves over Abelian varieties. We also…

For $X$ a complete, reduced, geometrically connected scheme over a perfect field of characteristic $p>0$, we analyze the decomposition of Nori's fundamental group scheme into its local and \'etale parts and raise the question of the…

Every action of a finite group scheme $G$ on a variety admits a projective equivariant model, but not necessarily a normal one. As a remedy, we introduce and explore the notion of $G$-normalization. In particular, every curve equipped with…

The S-fundamental group scheme is the group scheme corresponding to the Tannaka category of numerically flat vector bundles. We use determinant line bundles to prove that the S-fundamental group of a product of two complete varieties is a…

For a vector bundle E on a model of a smooth projective curve over a p-adic number field a p-adic representation of the geometric fundamental group of X has been defined in work with Annette Werner if the reduction of E is strongly…

Let $k$ be an infinite finitely generated field of characteristic $p>0$. Fix a separated scheme $X$ smooth, geometrically connected, and of finite type over $k$ and a smooth proper morphism $f:Y\rightarrow X$. The main result of this paper…

We give finite presentations for the fundamental group of moduli stacks of smooth Weierstrass curves over complex projective space P^n which extend the classical result for elliptic curves to positive dimensional base. We thus get natural…
