Reconstruction of function fields

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

For k an algebraic closure of the finite field double-struck F sign p ,ℓ prime distinct from p and X a surface over k, we prove that the field of rational functions k(X) can be recovered from the maximal pro-ℓ-quotient GK of its absolute Galois group - in fact already from the second central descending series quotient of GK .
