INTER-UNIVERSAL TEICHMÜLLER THEORY I 103<br />

although F l<br />

arises essentially as a subquotient <strong>of</strong> a Galois group <strong>of</strong> extensions <strong>of</strong><br />

number fields [cf. the faithful poly-action <strong>of</strong> F l<br />

on primes <strong>of</strong> V(K)], the fact that<br />

it also acts faithfully on conjugates <strong>of</strong> the cusp ɛ [cf. Example 4.3, (i)] implies that<br />

“working with elements <strong>of</strong> V(K) up to F l<br />

-indeterminacy” may only be done at the<br />

expense <strong>of</strong> “working with conjugates <strong>of</strong> the cusp ɛ up to F l<br />

-indeterminacy”. Thatis<br />

to say, “working with nonsynchronized labels” is inconsistent with the construction<br />

<strong>of</strong> the crucial bijection † ζ in Proposition 4.7, (iii).<br />

(ii) In the context <strong>of</strong> the discussion <strong>of</strong> (i), we observe that the “single copy” <strong>of</strong><br />

D ⊚ may also be thought <strong>of</strong> as a “single connected component”, hence — from<br />

the point <strong>of</strong> view <strong>of</strong> Galois categories —asa“single basepoint”.<br />

(iii) In the context <strong>of</strong> the discussion <strong>of</strong> (i), it is interesting to note that since<br />

the natural action <strong>of</strong> F l<br />

on F l<br />

is transitive, one obtains the same “set <strong>of</strong> all<br />

possibilities for each association”, regardless <strong>of</strong> whether one considers independent<br />

F l -indeterminacies at each index <strong>of</strong> J or independent S l-indeterminacies at each<br />

index <strong>of</strong> J [cf. the discussion <strong>of</strong> Remark 4.9.1, (ii)].<br />

(iv) The synchronized indeterminacy [cf. (i)] exhibited by a D-NF-bridge<br />

— i.e., at a more concrete level, the crucial bijection † ζ <strong>of</strong> Proposition 4.7, (iii) —<br />

may be thought <strong>of</strong> as a sort <strong>of</strong> combinatorial model <strong>of</strong> the notion <strong>of</strong> a “holomorphic<br />

structure”. By contrast, the nonsynchronized indeterminacies discussed<br />

in (i) may be thought <strong>of</strong> as a sort <strong>of</strong> combinatorial model <strong>of</strong> the notion <strong>of</strong><br />

a “real analytic structure”. Moreover, we observe that the theme <strong>of</strong> the above<br />

discussion — in which one considers<br />

“how a given combinatorial holomorphic structure is ‘embedded’ within<br />

its underlying combinatorial real analytic structure”<br />

— is very much in line with the spirit <strong>of</strong> classical complex Teichmüller theory.<br />

(v) From the point <strong>of</strong> view discussed in (iv), the main results <strong>of</strong> the “multiplicative<br />

combinatorial Teichmüller theory” developed in the present §4 may<br />

be summarized as follows:<br />

(a) globalizability <strong>of</strong> labels, in a fashion that is independent <strong>of</strong> local structures<br />

[cf. Remark 4.3.2, (b); Proposition 4.7, (iii)];<br />

(b) comparability <strong>of</strong> distinct labels [cf. Proposition 4.9; Remark 4.9.1, (i)];<br />

(c) absolute comparability [cf. Proposition 4.9, (ii), (iii); Remark 4.9.1, (ii)];<br />

(d) minimization <strong>of</strong> label indeterminacy — without sacrificing the symmetry<br />

necessary to perform comparisons! — via processions [cf. Proposition<br />

4.11, (i), (ii), below].
