Reconstruction of schemes from their \'{e}tale topoi
Abstract
Let $k$ be a field that is finitely generated over its prime field. In Grothendieck's anabelian letter to Faltings, he conjectured that sending a $k$-scheme to its \'{e}tale topos defines a fully faithful functor from the localization of the category of finite type $k$-schemes at the universal homeomorphisms to a category of topoi. We prove Grothendieck's conjecture for infinite fields of arbitrary characteristic. In characteristic $0$, this shows that seminormal finite type $k$-schemes can be reconstructed from their \'{e}tale topoi, generalizing work of Voevodsky. In positive characteristic, this shows that perfections of finite type $k$-schemes can be reconstructed from their \'{e}tale topoi.
