本文的目的是证明:如果X是定义在代数闭域k上的单有理3重群,则代数基本群nj(X)为零。维数3是第一个非平凡的情况,因为单有理曲线和曲面是有理的(根据Ltiroth定理和Castelnuovo准则),因此是单连通的。Serre在他的论文[12]中指出,如果X ~ x,Y是n次的6层覆盖,则Riemann-Roch定理意味着X(Cx)= nX(Or),所以如果X(~ x)= 1,则覆盖是平凡的。单有理簇的基本群是有限的([4]),单有理簇的任何6 tale覆盖也是单有理的,这一事实暗示了存在一个单有理的极大6 tale覆盖,因此问题简化为证明X(Cx)= 1,其中X是单连通单有理簇。
The aim of this paper is to show that if X is a unirational 3-fold defined over an algebraically closed field k, then the algebraic fundamental group nj (X) is zero. Dimension 3 is the first non-trivial case since unirational curves and surfaces are rational (by Ltiroth's theorem and Castelnuovo's criterion) and consequently simply-connected. On the other hand there are unirational 3-folds that are not rational ([1]).In his paper [12] Serre observed that if X--, Y is an 6tale covering of degree n then the Riemann-Roch theorem implies that X (Cx)= nX (Or), so if X (~ x)= 1 the covering is trivial. The fact that the fundamental group of a unirational variety is finite ([4]) and the fact that any 6tale cover of a unirational variety is again unirational implies the existence of a maximal 6tale cover which is unirational so the problem reduces to showing that X (Cx)= 1 for X a simplyconnected unirational variety.
