We study affine group schemes over a discrete valuation ring $R$ using two techniques: Neron blowups and Tannakian categories. We employ the theory developed to define and study differential Galois groups of $\mathcal D$-modules on a scheme over a $R$. This throws light on how differential Galois groups of families degenerate.
We follow the pattern in a recent paper of Otabe [Ota15] to define an action of the étale fundamental group scheme $π^\text{et}(X)$ on the local component of the essentially finite fundamental group scheme $π^{\mathrm{EF}}(X)$ of Nori. We show that the associated representation is faithful when $X$ is a curve of genus $\geq 2$.
Let $(X ,x_0)$ be a pointed smooth proper variety defined over an algebraically closed field. The Albanese morphism for $(X ,x_0)$ produces a homomorphism from the abelianization of the $F$-divided fundamental group scheme of $X$ to the $F$-divided fundamental group of the Albanese variety of $X$. We prove that this homomorphism is surjective with finite kernel. The kernel is also described.
