Abstract

The main purpose of this paper is to provide explicit computations of the fundamental group of several algebras. For this purpose, given a kk-algebra AA, we consider the category of all connected gradings of AA by a group GG and we study the relation between gradings and Galois coverings. This theoretical tool gives information about the fundamental group of AA, which allows its computation using complete lists of gradings.
