Galois-teichmuller Theory and Arithmetic Geometry

The 24 articles presented in this volume have been refereed and are in final form (no version of them will be published elsewhere). The articles were presented at a Kyoto gathering in 2010, which took place with the involvement of the Mathematical Society of Japan (MSJ) and the Research Institute for Mathematical Sciences (RIMS), Kyoto University, Japan. A sampling of topics: the decomposition of motivic multiple zeta values, Galois actions on complex braid groups, fake liftings of Galois covers between smooth curves, motivic aspects of anabelian geometry, and quadratic residue curves on rational ruled surfaces. The four editors are affiliated as follows: Hiroaki Nakamura (Okayama U., Japan), Florian Pop (U. of Pennsylvania, US), Leila Schneps (CNRS, U. of Paris 6, France), and Akio Tamagawa (RIMS, Kyoto U., Japan). Distribution in the US is by the American Mathematical Society. Annotation c2013 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
