Elementary anabelian varieties are anabelian
Abstract
We show that isomorphisms of fundamental groups of elementary anabelian varieties -- varieties obtained as iterated fibrations of hyperbolic curves -- over sub-$p$-adic fields correspond bijectively to isomorphisms of varieties. Moreover, dominant maps between proper elementary anabelian varieties are in bijection with ``stably cohomologically injective'' maps of fundamental groups: open maps whose pullbacks to all open subgroups induce injections on cohomology rings with $\ell$-adic coefficients, for any prime $\ell$. This verifies conjectures of Grothendieck from his letter to Faltings. Finally, we establish \'etale homotopical generalizations of these results.
