    Equivalent characterizations of étale algebras. Definition of unramified morphisms. A morphism is unramified at x if and only if x is isolated in the fiber, without nilpotents. Examples.

    Derivations. Kahler differentials. Presentation using the ideal of the diagonal. A morphism is unramified at x if and only if Kahler differentials vanish at x, if and only if the diagonal is an open embedding around x. Review of flatness (no proofs due to time constraints). Definition and basic properties. Over PIDs, flat = torsion free. Flatness is local. Flat, finitely generated over a local ring is free. Faithfully flat = flat + surjective. Flat + locally of finite presentation is open.

    GIULIO Bresciani - Course (teaching activity) - Face to face

    Galois categories and fibre functors. Examples: finite étale covers, the Galois category of a pro-finite group. Various basic properties of Galois categories. Fibre functors are strictly pro-representable.

    GIULIO Bresciani - Course (teaching activity) - Face to face

    The automorphism group of a fibre functor. Galois objects in Galois categories. Every Galois category is equivalent to the category of finite sets with a continuous action of the fibre functor. A pro-finite group is isomorphic to the automorphism group of the fibre functor of its associated Galois category.
