Lemma 58.14.2. Let k be a field with perfection k^{perf}. Let X be a connected scheme over k. Then X_{k^{perf}} is connected and \pi _1(X_{k^{perf}}) \to \pi _1(X) is an isomorphism.
Proof. Special case of topological invariance of the fundamental group. See Proposition 58.8.4. To see that \mathop{\mathrm{Spec}}(k^{perf}) \to \mathop{\mathrm{Spec}}(k) is a universal homeomorphism you can use Algebra, Lemma 10.46.10. \square
