Arithmetic Orr invariants of absolute Galois groups

Abstract

Based on the analogies between mapping class groups and absolute Galois groups, we introduce an arithmetic pro-\ell analogue of Orr invariants for a Galois element associated with Galois action on \'etale fundamental groups of punctured projective lines. At the same time, we also introduce pro-\ell Orr space as an arithmetic analogue of Orr space whose third homotopy group is a target group of Orr invariant. We then determine its rank as Z\mathbb{Z}_{\ell}-module following Igusa-Orr's computation. Moreover, we investigate its relation with Ellenberg's obstruction to π1\pi_1-sections associated with lower central series filtration in the context of Grothendieck's section conjecture.
