Stix, Jakob The Grothendieck-Teichmüller group and Galois theory of the rational numbers – European network GTEM. (English) Zbl 1111.11050 Laptev, Ari (ed.), Proceedings of the 4th European congress of mathematics (ECM), Stockholm, Sweden, June 27–July 2, 2004. Zürich: European Mathematical Society (EMS) (ISBN 3-03719-009-4/hbk). 681-696 (2005). In this paper, several branches of expository accounts are given on nonabelian Galois action, Grothendieck-Teichmüller theory and anabelian geomety from the activities of GTEM – European Network “Galois Theory and Explicit Method”. Researches within this network are listed as (1) (Explicit) finite Galois groups over \(\mathbb Q\). (2) The Inverse Galois Problem (IGP). (3) Dessins d’enfants. (4) Grothendieck-Teichmüller Theory: \(\roman{Gal}_{\mathbb Q}\) and \(\roman{GT}\). (5) Arithmetic of elliptic curves over number fields. (6) Algorithms in number theory, in particular class field theory. (7) Differential Galois Theory (8) Arithmetic of covers, arithmetic fundamental groups. (9) (Birational) anabelian geometry. (10) Miscellaneous: Iwasawa Theory, Invariant Theory, explicit implementations,... The author selected several topics mainly concerned with the ground field of the rational numbers, giving overviews on those subjects, positioning new results, and supplying bibliographical informations.For the entire collection see [Zbl 1064.00004].
