I want to study anabelian geometry, but unfortunately I'm having difficulties in finding some materials about it. If you could offer me some books/papers/articles I would be glad.

    $\begingroup$ I don't recommend that book. There are lots of errors (even concerning basic definitions) and inconsistencies. $\endgroup$ Jan 7, 2013 at 11:20
  • $\begingroup$ (apologies for the over-long link but...) just discovered a recent master's thesis on mono-anabelian geometry: google.com/… $\endgroup$

There is this very beautiful survey

Nakamura, Hiroaki; Tamagawa, Akio; Mochizuki, Shinichi

The Grothendieck conjecture on the fundamental groups of algebraic curves

http://www.math.sci.osaka-u.ac.jp/~nakamura/zoo/rhino/NTM300.pdf

You could also have a look at

Szamuely, Tamás

Heidelberg Lectures on Fundamental Groups

    $\begingroup$ I'm sure this book will be the one to get, once it comes out. If you start with Szamuely as an introduction, you could then move on to this afterwards. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ springer.com/mathematics/numbers/book/978-3-642-23904-5 Is this the same book? $\endgroup$ Oct 5, 2012 at 14:22
  • $\begingroup$ No (it is a collection of conference talks), but this is also a good source. $\endgroup$

This volume, Galois Groups and Fundamental Groups, edited by Leila Schneps has a great collection of articles, as does this volume, Geometric Galois Actions, including a nice article by Florian Pop on "Glimpses of Grothendieck's anabelian geometry."

If you'd like videos, here is a series of lectures on related topics, including a long series by Pop on anabelian geometry. At MSRI, you can find some lectures from Fall 1999, including one specifically about anabelian geometry.

The article

Matsumoto, Makoto, Arithmetic fundamental groups and moduli of curves. School on Algebraic Geometry (Trieste, 1999), 355–383, ICTP Lect. Notes, 1, Abdus Salam Int. Cent. Theoret. Phys., Trieste, 2000.

has a nice concrete discussion of fundamental groups.
