Isomorphism of \'etale fundamental groups lifts to isomorphism of stratified fundamental group

Abstract

It is shown that if a finite generically smooth morphism $f\,:\,Y\,\longrightarrow\, X$ of smooth projective varieties induces an isomorphism of the \'etale fundamental groups, then the induced map of the stratified fundamental groups $\pi_1^{str}(f)\, :\, \pi_1^{str}(Y,\, y)\,\longrightarrow\, \pi_1^{str}(X,\, f(y))$ is also an isomorphism.
