On tamely ramified infinite Galois extensions

For a number field $K$, we consider $K^{\rm ta}$ the maximal tamely ramified algebraic extension of~$K$, and its Galois group $G^{\rm ta}_K= Gal(K^{ta}/K)$. Choose a prime $p$ such that $\mu_p \not \subset K$. Our guiding aim is to characterize the finitely generated pro-$p$ quotients of~$G^{\rm ta}$. We give a {unified point of view} by introducing the notion of {\it stably inertially generated} pro-$p$ groups~$G$, for which linear groups are archetypes. This key notion {is compatible} with local {\it tame liftings} as used in the Scholz-Reichardt Theorem. We realize every finitely generated pro-$p$ group~$G$ which is stably inertially generated as a quotient of $G^{\rm ta}$. Further examples of groups that we realize as quotients of $G^{\rm ta}$ include congruence subgroups of special linear groups over ${\mathbb Z}_p[[ T_1,\cdots, T_n ]]$. Finally, we give classes of groups which cannot be realized as quotients of $G^{\rm ta}_{\mathbb Q}$.
