Tannakian Category

Abstract Relying on a notion of “numerical effectiveness” for Higgs bundles, we show that the category of “numerically flat” Higgs vector bundles on a smooth projective variety X is a Tannakian category. We introduce the associated group scheme, that we call the “Higgs fundamental group scheme of X,” and show that its properties are related to a conjecture about the vanishing of the Chern classes of numerically flat Higgs vector bundles.

AbstractLet X be a smooth projective variety defined over an algebraically closed field k. Nori constructed a category of vector bundles on X, called essentially finite vector bundles, which is reminiscent of the category of representations of the fundamental group (in characteristic zero). In fact, this category is equivalent to the category of representations of a pro-finite group scheme which controls all finite torsors. We show that essentially finite vector bundles coincide with those which become trivial after being pulled back by some proper and surjective morphism to X.

Conditions are given for a class 2 nilpotent group to have no central extensions of class 3. This is related to Betti numbers and to the problem of representing a class 2 nilpotent group as the fundamental group of a smooth projective variety.

The goal of this paper is to obtain restrictions on the prime-to-$p$ quotient of the étale fundamental group of a smooth projective variety in characteristic $p\geqslant 0$. The results are analogues of some theorems from the study of Kähler groups. Our first main result is that such groups are indecomposable under coproduct. The second result gives a classification of the pro-$\ell$ parts of one-relator groups in this class.

AbstractLet ϕ: X → M be a morphism from a smooth irreducible complex quasi-projective variety X to a Grassmannian variety M such that the image is of dimension ≥ 2. Let D be a reduced hypersurface in M, and γ a general linear automorphism of M. We show that, under a certain differentialgeometric condition on ϕ(X) and D, the fundamental group π1((γ ○ ϕ)−1 (M \ D)) is isomorphic to a central extension of π1(M \ D) × π1(X) by the cokernel of π2(ϕ) : π2(X) → π2(M).
