## Modified proof of a local analogue of the Grothendieck conjecture.(English)Zbl 1229.11148

Let $$p$$ be a rational prime number, $$E$$ a complete discrete valuation field with residue field of characteristic $$p$$. Let $$E_{\text{sep}}$$ be a fixed separable closure of $$E$$ and set $$\Gamma_ E:=\text{Gal}(E_{\text{sep}}/E)$$. If $$E(p)$$ is the maximal $$p$$–extension of $$E$$ in $$E_{\text{sep}}$$, let $$\Gamma_ E(p)=\text{Gal}(E(p)/E)$$ and let $$\big\{\Gamma_ E(p)^{(\nu)}\big\}_{\nu\geq 0}$$ be the upper ramification groups. The main result in this paper is: If $$E$$ and $$E'$$ are complete discrete valuation fields with finite residue fields and there exists a continuous group isomorphism $$g: \Gamma_ E(p)\longrightarrow \Gamma_{E'}(p)$$ such that $$g(\Gamma_ E(p)^ {(\nu)})=\Gamma_ {E'}(p)^{(\nu)}$$ for all $$\nu\geq 0$$, then there exists a continuous field isomorphism $$\mu : E(p)\longrightarrow E'(p)$$ such that $$\mu(E)=E'$$ and $$g(\tau)=\mu^{-1}\tau\mu$$ for all $$\tau\in \Gamma _ E(p)$$.
From this result the corresponding statement for $$E_{\text{sep}}$$, $$E'_{\text{sep}}$$, $$\Gamma_ E$$ and $$\Gamma_{E'}$$ follows. This statement is known as a a local analogue of the Grothendieck conjecture.
In [Int. J. Math. 8, No.4, 499–506 (1997; Zbl 0894.11046)] S. Mochizuki proved this local analogue for fields of characteristic $$0$$ based on an application of Hodge–Tate theory. The author proved this result for arbitrary characteristic $$p\geq 0$$, $$p\neq 2$$, in [Int. J. Math. 11, No. 2, 133–175 (2000; Zbl 1073.12501)]. The restriction $$p\neq 2$$ is due to the fact that the proof uses the equivalence of $$p$$–groups and the Lie $${\mathbb Z}_ p$$-algebras of nilpotent class $$2$$, which holds for $$p>2$$. The case $$p=0$$ follows from using the theory of fields of norms of Fontaine and Wintenberger.
The proof in the paper under review has no restriction on $$p$$ and even though it follows the strategy of the previous paper, there are several essential changes. Firstly, instead of working with the ramification groups $$\Gamma _ E(p)^{(\nu)}$$, the author fixes the simplest possible embedding of $$\Gamma_ E(p)$$ into its Magnus algebra $${\mathcal A}$$ and studies the induced filtration by the ideals $${\mathcal A}^{(\nu)}$$, $$\nu\geq 0$$, of $${\mathcal A}$$. Secondly, any continuous group automorphism of $$\Gamma _ E(p)$$ which is compatible with the ramification filtration induces a continuous algebra automorphism $$f$$ of $${\mathcal A}$$ such that for any $$\nu\geq 0$$, $$f({\mathcal A}^{(\nu)}) = {\mathcal A}^{(\nu)}$$. This allows to give a more detailed and effective version of the analogue of the Grothendieck conjecture for all $$p>0$$. In particular it explains why it holds with the absolute Galois group replaced by the Galois group of the maximal $$p$$–extension.
