Abstract

Let XX be a normal, separated and integral scheme of finite type over Z\mathbb{Z} and M\mathcal{M} a set of closed points of XX. To a Galois cover X~\tilde{X} of XX unramified over M\mathcal{M}, we associate a quandle whose underlying set consists of points of X~\tilde{X} lying over M\mathcal{M}. As the limit of such quandles over all \'etale Galois covers and all \'etale abelian covers, we define topological quandles Q(X,M)Q(X, \mathcal{M}) and Qab(X,M)Q^\mathrm{ab}(X, \mathcal{M}), respectively. Then we study the problem of reconstruction. Let KK be Q\mathbb{Q} or a quadratic field, OK\mathcal{O}_K its ring of integers, X=SpecOK{p}X=\mathrm{Spec} \mathcal{O}_K\setminus\{\mathfrak{p}\} the complement of a closed point such that π1(X)ab\pi_1(X)^\mathrm{ab} is infinite, and M\mathcal{M} a set of maximal ideals with density 11. Using results from pp-adic transcendental number theory, we show that KK, p\mathfrak{p} and the projection MSpecZ\mathcal{M}\to\mathrm{Spec} \mathbb{Z} can be recovered from the topological quandle Q(X,M)Q(X, \mathcal{M}) or Qab(X,M)Q^\mathrm{ab}(X, \mathcal{M}).
