Abstract

We study the fundamental groups of algebraic stacks. We show that these fundamental groups carry an additional structure coming from the inertia groups. We use this additional structure to analyse geometric/topological properties of stacks. We give an explicit formula for the fundamental group of the coarse moduli space. As an application, we find an explicit formula for the fundamental group of the geometric quotient of an arbitrary algebraic group action. Also, we use these additional structures to give a necessary and sufficient for an algebraic stack to be uniformizable (i.e. quotient of an algebraic space by a finite group action).
