Cycle Classes in Anabelian Geometry

Cycle classes appear in the context of anabelian geometry in different incarnations, see for example Parshin (The Grothendieck Festschrift, vol. 3, 1990), Mochizuki (Invent. Math. 138(2):319–423, 1999; Mathematical Sciences Research Institute Publications

Preface

The section conjecture, as stated by Grothendieck [Gr83] in a letter to Faltings in 1983, speculates about a representation of rational points in the realm of anabelian geometry. Every k-rational point of a geometrically connected variety X=k gives rise to a conjugacy class of sections s W 1 .Spec.k// ! 1 .X / of the natural projection 1 .X / ! 1 .Spec.k// of e´ tale fundamental groups. The section conjecture suggests that the converse also holds for smooth, projective curves of genus at least 2 over
