Note that the “desired geometry” in question will also be subject to other requirements.<br />

For instance, in [IUTchIII] [cf. also [IUTchII], §4], we shall make essential<br />

use <strong>of</strong> the global arithmetic — i.e., the ring structure and absolute Galois groups —<br />

<strong>of</strong> number fields. As observed above in Remark 4.3.1, (ii), these global arithmetic<br />

structures are not compatible with the “arithmetic local-analytic sections” constituted<br />

by the prime-strips. In particular, this state <strong>of</strong> affairs imposes the further<br />

requirement that the “geometry” in question be compatible with globalization, i.e.,<br />

that it give rise to the global arithmetic <strong>of</strong> the number fields in question in a fashion<br />

that is independent <strong>of</strong> the various local geometries that appear in the “arithmetic<br />

local-analytic sections” constituted by the prime-strips, but nevertheless admits localization<br />

operations to these various local geometries [cf. Fig. 4.3; the discussion<br />

<strong>of</strong> [IUTchII], Remark 4.11.2, (iii); [AbsTopIII], Remark 3.7.6, (iii), (v)].<br />

Finally, in order for the “desired geometry” to be applicable to the theory developed<br />

in the present series <strong>of</strong> papers, it is necessary for it to be based on “étale-like<br />

structures”, soastogiverisetocanonical splittings, asintheétale-picture discussed<br />

in Corollary 3.9, (i). Thus, in summary, the requirements that we wish to impose<br />

on the “desired geometry” are the following:<br />

(a) local independence <strong>of</strong> global structures,<br />

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

(c) the property <strong>of</strong> being based on étale-like structures.<br />

Note, in particular, that properties (a), (b) at first glance almost appear to contradict<br />

one another. In particular, the simultaneous realization <strong>of</strong> (a), (b) is highly<br />

nontrivial. For instance, in the case <strong>of</strong> a function field <strong>of</strong> dimension one over a<br />

base field, the simultaneous realization <strong>of</strong> properties (a), (b) appears to require<br />

that one restrict oneself essentially to working with structures that descend to the<br />

base field! It is thus a highly nontrivial consequence <strong>of</strong> the theory <strong>of</strong> [AbsTopIII]<br />

that the mono-anabelian geometry <strong>of</strong> [AbsTopIII] does indeed satisfy all <strong>of</strong> these<br />

requirements (a), (b), (c) [cf. the discussion <strong>of</strong> [AbsTopIII], §I1].<br />

Remark 4.3.3.<br />

(i) One important theme <strong>of</strong> [AbsTopIII] is the analogy between the monoanabelian<br />

theory <strong>of</strong> [AbsTopIII] and the theory <strong>of</strong> Frobenius-invariant indigenous<br />

bundles <strong>of</strong> the sort that appear in p-adic Teichmüller theory [cf. [AbsTopIII],
