arises from a “deep sensitivity to particular choices <strong>of</strong> basepoints” — is the phenomenon<br />
<strong>of</strong> conjugate synchronization, i.e., <strong>of</strong> synchronization between conjugacy<br />
indeterminacies <strong>of</strong> distinct copies <strong>of</strong> various local Galois groups, which, as was<br />
mentioned in §I1, will play an important role in the theory <strong>of</strong> [IUTchII], [IUTchIII].<br />
The various rigidity properties <strong>of</strong> the étale theta function established in [EtTh]<br />
constitute yet another inter-<strong>universal</strong> phenomenon that will play an important role<br />
in theory <strong>of</strong> [IUTchII], [IUTchIII].<br />
§I4. Relation to Complex and p-adic Teichmüller <strong>Theory</strong><br />
In order to understand the sense in which the theory <strong>of</strong> the present series<br />
<strong>of</strong> papers may be thought <strong>of</strong> as a sort <strong>of</strong> “Teichmüller theory” <strong>of</strong> number fields<br />
equipped with an elliptic curve, it is useful to recall certain basic, well-known facts<br />
concerning the classical complex Teichmüller theory <strong>of</strong> Riemann surfaces <strong>of</strong><br />
finite type [cf., e.g., [Lehto], Chapter V, §8]. Although such a Riemann surface is<br />
one-dimensional from a complex, holomorphic point <strong>of</strong> view, this single complex<br />
dimension may be thought <strong>of</strong> consisting <strong>of</strong> two underlying real analytic dimensions.<br />
Relative to a suitable canonical holomorphic coordinate z = x + iy on the Riemann<br />
surface, the Teichmüller deformation may be written in the form<br />
z ↦→ ζ = ξ + iη = Kx + iy<br />
