Tame stacks in positive characteristic

Dan Abramovich, Martin Olsson, Angelo Vistoli (2008)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

Similarity:

We introduce and study a class of algebraic stacks with finite inertia in positive and mixed characteristic, which we call tame algebraic stacks. They include tame Deligne-Mumford stacks, and are arguably better behaved than general Deligne-Mumford stacks. We also give a complete characterization of finite flat linearly reductive schemes over an arbitrary base. Our main result is that tame algebraic stacks are étale locally quotient by actions of linearly reductive finite group schemes. ...

The pro-unipotent radical of the pro-algebraic fundamental group of a compact Kähler manifold

Jonathan Pridham (2007)

Annales de la faculté des sciences de Toulouse Mathématiques

Similarity:

The aim of this paper is to study the pro-algebraic fundamental group of a compact Kähler manifold. Following work by Simpson, the structure of this group’s pro-reductive quotient is already well understood. We show that Hodge-theoretic methods can also be used to establish that the pro-unipotent radical is quadratically presented. This generalises both Deligne et al.’s result on the de Rham fundamental group, and Goldman and Millson’s result on deforming representations of Kähler groups,...
