INTER-UNIVERSAL TEICHMÜLLER THEORY I 45<br />

(iii) Δ tp X (respectively, Πtp X )iscommensurably terminal in ̂Δ X (respectively,<br />

̂Π X ).<br />

Pro<strong>of</strong>. First, we consider assertion (i). We begin by observing that since [as is<br />

well-known — cf., e.g., [Config], Remark 1.2.2] ̂Δ X is torsion-free, it follows that<br />

there exists a finite index characteristic open subgroup J ⊆ Δ tp X<br />

[i.e., as in the<br />

previous paragraph] such that J ⋂ Λhasnontrivial image in the pro-Σ completion<br />

<strong>of</strong> the abelianization <strong>of</strong> J, hence in Π tp<br />

G J<br />

[since, as is well-known, the surjection<br />

J ↠ Π tp<br />

G J<br />

induces an isomorphism between the pro-Σ completions <strong>of</strong> the respective<br />

abelianizations]. Since the quotient Π tp X<br />

surjects onto G k,andJ is open <strong>of</strong> finite<br />

index in Δ tp X<br />

, we may assume without loss <strong>of</strong> generality that γ lies in the closure Ĵ <strong>of</strong><br />

J in ̂Π X .SinceJ ⋂ Λhasnontrivial image in Π tp<br />

G J<br />

, it thus follows from Proposition<br />

2.1 [applied to G J ] that the image <strong>of</strong> γ via the natural surjection Ĵ ↠ ̂Π GJ lies<br />

in Π tp<br />

G J<br />

. Since, by allowing J to vary, Π tp X (respectively, ̂ΠX ) may be written<br />

as an inverse limit <strong>of</strong> the topological groups Π tp X<br />

/Ker(J ↠ Πtp<br />

G J<br />

) (respectively,<br />

̂Π X /Ker(Ĵ ↠ ̂Π GJ )), we thus conclude that [the original] γ lies in Π tp X<br />

, as desired.<br />

Next, we consider assertion (ii). First, let us observe that it follows from a<br />

similar argument to the argument applied to prove Proposition 2.1 — where, instead<br />

<strong>of</strong> applying [SemiAnbd], Theorem 3.7, (iii), we apply its arithmetic analogue,<br />

namely, [SemiAnbd], Theorem 5.4, (ii); [SemiAnbd], Example 5.6 — that the image<br />

<strong>of</strong> γ in ̂Π X /Ker( ̂Δ X ↠ ̂Π G ∗) lies in Π tp X /Ker(Δtp X ↠ Πtp G<br />

), where [by invoking the<br />

∗<br />

hypothesis that ̂Σ =Primes] we take G ∗ to be a semi-graph <strong>of</strong> anabelioids as in<br />

[SemiAnbd], Example 5.6, i.e., the semi-graph <strong>of</strong> anabelioids whose finite étale coverings<br />

correspond to arbitrary admissible coverings <strong>of</strong> the geometric special fiber<br />

<strong>of</strong> the stable model X . Here, we note that when one applies either [AbsTopII],<br />

Proposition 1.3, (iv), or [NodNon], Proposition 3.9, (i) — after, say, restricting<br />

the outer action <strong>of</strong> G k on Π tp<br />

G<br />

to a closed pro-Σ subgroup <strong>of</strong> the inertia group I ∗<br />

k<br />

<strong>of</strong> G k that maps isomorphically onto the maximal pro-Σ quotient <strong>of</strong> I k —tothe<br />

vertices “v ′′ ”, “(v ′ ) γ ”, one may only conclude that these two vertices either coincide,<br />

areadjacent, oradmit a common adjacent vertex; but this is still sufficient to<br />

conclude the temperedness <strong>of</strong> “(v ′ ) γ ”fromthat<strong>of</strong>“v ′′ ”. Now [just as in the pro<strong>of</strong><br />

<strong>of</strong> assertion (i)] by applying [the evident analogue <strong>of</strong>] this observation to the quotients<br />

Π tp X ↠ Πtp X<br />

/Ker(J ↠ Πtp<br />

G<br />

)—whereJ ⊆ Δ tp ∗ X<br />

is a finite index characteristic<br />

J<br />

open subgroup, and GJ ∗ is the semi-graph <strong>of</strong> anabelioids whose finite étale coverings<br />

correspond to arbitrary admissible coverings <strong>of</strong> the geometric special fiber <strong>of</strong> any<br />

stable model <strong>of</strong> the covering <strong>of</strong> X determined by J — we conclude that γ ∈ Π tp X ,<br />

as desired.<br />

Finally, we consider assertion (iii). Just as in the pro<strong>of</strong> <strong>of</strong> Proposition 2.2, the<br />

commensurable terminality <strong>of</strong> Δ tp X<br />

in ̂Δ X follows immediately from assertion (i),<br />

by allowing, in assertion (i), Λ to range over the open subgroups <strong>of</strong> a pro-Σ Sylow<br />

[hence, in particular, nontrivial pro-Σ compact!] subgroup <strong>of</strong> a verticial subgroup<br />

<strong>of</strong> Δ tp<br />

G . The commensurable terminality <strong>of</strong> Πtp X in ̂Π X then follows immediately<br />

from the commensurable terminality <strong>of</strong> Δ tp X in ̂Δ X . ○
