Higher class field theory and the connected component

In this note we present a new self-contained approach to the class field theory of arithmetic schemes in the sense of Wiesend. Along the way we prove new results on space filling curves on arithmetic schemes and on the class field theory of local rings. We show how one can deduce the more classical version of higher global class field theory due to Kato and Saito from Wiesend's version. One of our new results says that the connected component of the identity element in Wiesend's class group is divisible if some obstruction is absent.
