The Valuative Section Conjecture, \'Etale Homotopy, and Berkovich Spaces

We reinterpret a result of Pop and Stix on the $p$-adic section conjecture in terms of Berkovich spaces and fixed points. In doing this, we see a version of the result extends to larger classes of fields, which in turn allows us to prove a valuative section conjecture type result for a larger class of varieties. This adds to the programme to reinterpret anabelian geometry results in terms of \'etale homotopy types.
