Finiteness of étale fundamental groups by reduction modulo $p$

Abstract

We introduce a spreading out technique to deduce finiteness results for étale fundamental groups of complex varieties by characteristic $p$ methods, and apply this to recover a finiteness result proven recently for local fundamental groups in characteristic $0$ using birational geometry.
