An obstruction to lifting to characteristic 0. (English) Zbl 1536.14016

Summary: We introduce a new obstruction to lifting smooth proper varieties from characteristic \(p>0\) to characteristic 0. It is based on Grothendieck’s specialization homomorphism and the resulting discrete finiteness properties of étale fundamental groups.
