INTER-UNIVERSAL TEICHMÜLLER THEORY I 87<br />

(b) an isomorphism, or identification, between v [i.e., a prime <strong>of</strong> F ]and<br />

v ′ [i.e., a prime <strong>of</strong> K] which [manifestly — cf., e.g., [NSW], Theorem<br />

12.2.5] fails to extend to an isomorphism between the respective prime<br />

decomposition trees over v and v ′ .<br />

If one thinks <strong>of</strong> the relation “∈” between sets in axiomatic set theory as determining<br />

a “tree”, then<br />

the point <strong>of</strong> view <strong>of</strong> (b) is reminiscent <strong>of</strong> the point <strong>of</strong> view <strong>of</strong> [IUTchIV], §3,<br />

where one is concerned with constructing some sort <strong>of</strong> artificial solution to<br />

the “membership equation a ∈ a” [cf. the discussion <strong>of</strong> [IUTchIV], Remark<br />

3.3.1, (i)].<br />

The third point <strong>of</strong> view consists <strong>of</strong> the observation that although the “arithmetic<br />

local-analytic sections” constituted by the D-prime-strips involve isomorphisms <strong>of</strong><br />

the various local absolute Galois groups,<br />

(c) these isomorphisms <strong>of</strong> local absolute Galois groups fail to extend to a<br />

section <strong>of</strong> global absolute Galois groups G F ↠ G K [i.e., a section <strong>of</strong> the<br />

natural inclusion G K ↩→ G F ].<br />

Here, we note that in fact, by the Neukirch-Uchida theorem [cf. [NSW], Chapter<br />

XII, §2], one may think <strong>of</strong> (a) and (c) as essentially equivalent. Moreover, (b) is<br />

closely related to this equivalence, in the sense that the pro<strong>of</strong> [cf., e.g., [NSW],<br />

Chapter XII, §2] <strong>of</strong> the Neukirch-Uchida theorem depends in an essential fashion<br />

on a careful analysis <strong>of</strong> the prime decomposition trees <strong>of</strong> the number fields involved.<br />

(iii) In some sense, understanding more precisely the content <strong>of</strong> the failure <strong>of</strong><br />

these “arithmetic local-analytic sections” constituted by the D-prime-strips to be<br />

“arithmetically holomorphic” is a central theme <strong>of</strong> the theory <strong>of</strong> the present series<br />

<strong>of</strong> papers — a theme which is very much in line with the spirit <strong>of</strong> classical complex<br />

Teichmüller theory.<br />

Remark 4.3.2. The incompatibility <strong>of</strong> the “arithmetic local-analytic sections” <strong>of</strong><br />

Remark 4.3.1, (i), with global prime distributions and global absolute Galois groups<br />

[cf. the discussion <strong>of</strong> Remark 4.3.1, (ii)] is precisely the technical obstacle that<br />

will necessitate the application — in [IUTchIII] — <strong>of</strong> the absolute p-adic monoanabelian<br />

geometry developed in [AbsTopIII], in the form <strong>of</strong> “panalocalization along<br />

the various prime-strips” [cf. [IUTchIII] for more details]. Indeed,<br />

the mono-anabelian theory developed in [AbsTopIII] represents the culmination<br />

<strong>of</strong> earlier research <strong>of</strong> the author during the years 2000 to 2007<br />

concerning absolute p-adic anabelian geometry — research that was<br />

motivated precisely by the goal <strong>of</strong> developing a geometry that would allow<br />

one to work with the “arithmetic local-analytic sections” constituted by<br />

the prime-strips, so as to overcome the principal technical obstruction to<br />

applying the <strong>Hodge</strong>-Arakelov theory <strong>of</strong> [HASurI], [HASurII] [cf. Remark<br />

4.3.1, (i)].
