Abstract

Let XX be a Berkovich space over a valued field. We prove that every finite group is a Galois group over \Ms(B)(T)\Ms(B)(T), where \Ms(B)\Ms(B) is the field of meromorphic functions over a part BB of XX satisfying some conditions. This gives a new geometric proof that every finite group is a Galois group over K(T)K(T), where KK is a complete valued field with non-trivial valuation. Then we switch to Berkovich spaces over Z{\bf Z} and use a similar strategy to give a new proof of the following theorem by D. Harbater: every finite group is a Galois group over a field of convergent arithmetic power series. We believe our proof to be more geometric and elementary that the original one. We have included the necessary background on Berkovich spaces over Z{\bf Z}.
