On the birational section conjecture with strong birationality assumptions

Number Theory 2023-11-29 v3 Algebraic Geometry

Abstract

Let XX be a curve over a field kk finitely generated over Q\mathbb{Q} and tt an indeterminate. We prove that, if ss is a section of π1(X)Gal(k)\pi_{1}(X)\to\operatorname{Gal}(k) such that the base change sk(t)s_{k(t)} is birationally liftable, then ss comes from geometry. As a consequence we prove that the section conjecture is equivalent to the cuspidalization of all sections over all finitely generated fields.
