Abstract

Let X=G/H be the quotient of a connected reductive algebraic C-group G defined over the field of complex numbers C by a finite subgroup H. We describe the topological fundamental group of the homogeneous space X, which is nonabelian when H is nonabelian. Further, we construct an example of a homogeneous space X and an automorphism s of C such that the topological fundamental groups of X and of the conjugate variety sX are not isomorphic.
