Title: Varieties determined by their étale fundamental groups

Abstract: We will give an elementary introduction to the theory and
computation of étale fundamental groups. We will then be able to
discuss anabelian varieties, a class of algebraic varieties introduced by
A. Grothendieck, that are so rich in structure that they are determined
by their étale fundamental groups. Grothendieck conjectured that an
arithmetic Galois action was necessary for varieties to be anabelian. In
the early 1990s, however, F. Bogomolov had the insight that in dimension >=
2 anabelian phenomena can be exhibited in the absence of this action. F.
Pop made an even more precise conjecture, and we discuss the proof of
this conjecture by Bogomolov-Y. Tschinkel, Pop, and finally Silberstein.
