Jul 6, 2019 at 21:21 comment added Will Sawin But the idea that $\alpha$ should be the monodromy matches the quote that it should be the generator of the inertia. So what is the confusion?
Jul 6, 2019 at 19:20 comment added Filippo Alberto Edoardo As for the $\mathbb{Z}_p$-extension, I guess you're right, I have overlooked that when doing the topological parts he sticks to knots rather than links. But do you see any reasonable obstruction to do this for links? Probably, as in the arithmetic case, there would be a failure of codescent? And do you have any feeling about the tameness/wildness problem?
Jul 6, 2019 at 19:18 comment added Filippo Alberto Edoardo Concerning $\alpha$ vs. $\beta$, remember the relevant Galois groups here are fund'l groups of complements of the neighb'd: for the unknot, for instance, this $\pi_1$ is $\mathbb{Z}$, generated by something which becomes $\alpha$, if I am not mistaken (I am looking at Morishita's ex. 2.6, p. 12). But of course I'd be very happy to be proven wrong and to find again my Frobenius generating the decomposition group!
Jul 6, 2019 at 19:14 comment added Filippo Alberto Edoardo @WillSawin Well, in considering which loop should be the "right" monodromy, I was thinking at $\alpha$ because I have in mind the idea of a family of curves over the punctured disk (in $\mathbb{C}$, say), or over $\mathbb{Z}_p$; but I agree that this is just a feeling.

Jul 6, 2019 at 16:01 comment added Will Sawin Presumably the assumption that the $\mathbb Z_p$-extension be ramified at one prime only is analogous to the knot case, not the link case. Perhaps he is thinking specifically of knots in $S^3$ there?
Jul 6, 2019 at 15:59 comment added Will Sawin Why can't "a loop going around $K$" be $\beta$?
Jul 6, 2019 at 15:57 comment added Will Sawin Why does this not agree with the idea that inertia acts as local monodromy, which is running around holds? $D^2$ is the hole, $\partial D^2$ is running around it.
