Abstract

In this chapter we recollect the preliminary materials from topology and number theory. In particular, we give a summary about fundamental groups and Galois theory for topological spaces and arithmetic rings, together with the basic concepts and examples in 3-dimensional topology and number fields. We also review class field theory as arithmetic duality theorems in Galois, étale cohomology groups.

Although the étale fundamental group is often denoted by \(\pi_{1}^{\mbox{\scriptsize\'{e}t}}(X,\overline{x})\), we write it by \(\pi _{1}(X,\overline{x})\) or π 1(X) for simplicity.
