Abstract

We show that the Grothendieck-Teichm\"uller group of PSL(2,q)PSL(2, q), or more precisely the group GT1(PSL(2,q))GT_1(PSL(2, q)) as previously defined by the author, is the product of an elementary abelian 2-group and several copies of the dihedral group of order 8. Moreover, when qq is even, we show that it is trivial. We explain how it follows that the moduli field of any "dessin d'enfant" whose monodromy group is PSL(2,q)PSL(2, q) has derived length less than 4. This paper can serve as an introduction to the general results on the Grothendieck-Teichm\"uller group of finite groups obtained by the author.
