Abstract

Let pp be a prime number, and let kk be an algebraically closed field of characteristic pp. We show that the tame fundamental group of a smooth affine curve over kk is a projective profinite group. We prove that the fundamental group of a smooth projective variety over kk is finitely presented. More generally we prove that the tame fundamental group of a smooth quasi-projective variety over kk which admits a good compactification is finitely presented. v2: references added.
