Relatively projective groups as absolute Galois groups
نویسنده
چکیده
By two well-known results, one of Ax, one of Lubotzky and van den Dries, a profinite group is projective iff it is isomorphic to the absolute Galois group of a pseudo-algebraically closed field. This paper gives an analogous characterization of relatively projective profinite groups as absolute Galois groups of regularly closed fields.

Projective Pairs of Profinite Groups
We generalize the notion of a projective profinite group to a projective pair of a profinite group and a closed subgroup. We establish the connection with Pseudo Algebraically Closed (PAC) extensions of PAC fields: Let M be an algebraic extension of a PAC field K. Then M/K is PAC if and only if the corresponding pair of absolute Galois groups (Gal(M),Gal(K)) is projective. Moreover any projecti...
متن کاملProjective extensions of fields
A field K admits proper projective extensions, i.e. Galois extensions where the Galois group is a nontrivial projective group, unless K is separably closed or K is a pythagorean formally real field without cyclic extensions of odd degree. As a consequence, it turns out that almost all absolute Galois groups decompose as proper semidirect products. We show that each local field has a unique maxi...
متن کاملWeighted completion of Galois groups and Galois actions on the fundamental group
Fix a prime number l. In this paper we prove a conjecture [16, p. 300], which Ihara attributes to Deligne, about the action of the absolute Galois group on the pro-l completion of the fundamental group of the thrice punctured projective line. It is stated below. Similar techniques are also used to prove part of a conjecture of Goncharov [11, Conj. 2.1], also about the action of the absolute Gal...

متن کاملProducts of absolute Galois groups ∗
If the absolute Galois group GK of a field K is a direct product GK = G1 × G2 then one of the factors is prosolvable and either G1 and G2 have coprime order or K is henselian and the direct product decomposition reflects the ramification structure of GK . So, typically, the direct product of two absolute Galois groups is not an absolute Galois group. In contrast, free (profinite) products of ab...
