Étale fundamental groups of Kawamata log terminal spaces, flat sheaves, and quotients of Abelian varieties (1307.5718v3)

Published 22 Jul 2013 in math.AG

Abstract: Given a quasi-projective variety X with only Kawamata log terminal singularities, we study the obstructions to extending finite \'etale covers from the smooth locus $X_{\mathrm{reg}}$ of $X$ to $X$ itself. A simplified version of our main results states that there exists a Galois cover $Y \rightarrow X$, ramified only over the singularities of $X$, such that the \'etale fundamental groups of $Y$ and of $Y_{\mathrm{reg}}$ agree. In particular, every \'etale cover of $Y_{\mathrm{reg}}$ extends to an \'etale cover of $Y$. As first major application, we show that every flat holomorphic bundle defined on $Y_{\mathrm{reg}}$ extends to a flat bundle that is defined on all of $Y$. As a consequence, we generalise a classical result of Yau to the singular case: every variety with at worst terminal singularities and with vanishing first and second Chern class is a finite quotient of an Abelian variety. As a further application, we verify a conjecture of Nakayama and Zhang describing the structure of varieties that admit polarised endomorphisms.
