Fundamental groups and path lifting for algebraic varieties

Abstract

We study 3 basic questions about fundamental groups of algebraic varieties. For a morphism, is being surjective on π1 preserved by base change? What is the connection between openness in the Zariski and in the Euclidean topologies? Which morphisms have the path lifting property?
