Suppose that for i =1, 2, C i and C i ′ are categories. Then we shall say that two<br />

isomorphism classes <strong>of</strong> functors φ : C 1 →C 2 , φ ′ : C 1 ′ →C 2 ′ are abstractly equivalent<br />

∼<br />

if, for i =1, 2, there exist isomorphisms α i : C i →C<br />

′<br />

i such that φ ′ ◦ α 1 = α 2 ◦ φ. We<br />

shall also apply this terminology to morphisms between temperoids, as well as to<br />

morphisms between subcategories <strong>of</strong> connected objects <strong>of</strong> temperoids.<br />

Numbers:<br />

We shall use the abbreviations NF (“number field”), MLF (“mixed-characteristic<br />

[nonarchimedean] local field”), CAF (“complex archimedean field”), RAF (“real<br />

archimedean field”), AF (“archimedean field”) as defined in [AbsTopI], §0; [AbsTopIII],<br />

§0. We shall denote the set <strong>of</strong> prime numbers by Primes.<br />

Let F be a number field [i.e., a finite extension <strong>of</strong> the field <strong>of</strong> rational numbers].<br />

Then we shall write<br />

V(F ) = V(F ) ⋃ arc V(F ) non<br />

for the set <strong>of</strong> valuations <strong>of</strong> F , i.e., the union <strong>of</strong> the sets <strong>of</strong> archimedean [i.e., V(F ) arc ]<br />

and nonarchimedean valuation [i.e., V(F ) non ]<strong>of</strong>F . Let v ∈ V(F ). Then we shall<br />

write F v for the completion <strong>of</strong> F at v; if, moreover, L is any [possibly infinite]<br />

Galois extension <strong>of</strong> F , then, by a slight abuse <strong>of</strong> notation, we shall write L v for the<br />

completion <strong>of</strong> L at some valuation ∈ V(L) that lies over v. If v ∈ V(F ) non ,then<br />

we shall write p v for the residue characteristic <strong>of</strong> v. If v ∈ V(F ) arc , then we shall<br />

write p v ∈ F v for the unique positive real element <strong>of</strong> F v whose natural logarithm is<br />

equal to 1 [i.e., “e =2.71828 ...”]. By passing to appropriate projective or inductive<br />

limits, we shall also apply the notation “V(F )”, “F v ”, “p v ” in situations where “F ”<br />

is an infinite extension <strong>of</strong> Q.<br />

Curves:<br />

We shall use the terms hyperbolic curve, cusp, stable log curve, andsmooth<br />

log curve as they are defined in [SemiAnbd], §0. We shall use the term hyperbolic<br />

orbicurve as it is defined in [Cusp], §0.
