Nov 18, 2010 at 3:29 comment added David Roberts I believe the version for higher dimensions is where 'anabelian schemes' come in. They are scheme theoretic versions of $K(\pi_1,1)$s, much as the complex analytic space associated to an algebraic curve is a $K(\Gamma_n,1)$. Grothendieck wrote a bit in Esquisse d'un Programme about these, and there is a bit of work since, but I don't know who has worked on it. Leila Schneps, perhaps? She's an expert on dessins so check her out anyway.

Nov 16, 2010 at 22:53 comment added Pete L. Clark @Ariyan: this link comes from the author's website. So it's surely okay to post it.
Nov 16, 2010 at 20:43 comment added Ariyan Javanpeykar You can find Szamuely's book here renyi.hu/~szamuely/fg.pdf . I'm not sure if it's ok to post the link like that but the book is really worth checking out.
Nov 16, 2010 at 20:41 comment added Ariyan Javanpeykar Look at Chapter 4.7 of Szamuely's book: Galois Groups and Fundamental Groups. In that book you should look at Theorem 4.7.6. That's Belyi's theorem. Corollary 4.7.7 "explains" how the absolute Galois group comes into play. Remark 4.7.9 says that the significance of Corollary 4.7.7 is that it embeds the absolute Galois group in the outer automorphism group of something "topological". That's the beginning of Grothendieck's theory of dessins d'enfants (=children's drawings).
Nov 16, 2010 at 19:20 comment added Felipe Voloch For a number field $K, {\bar K} = {\bar \mathbb{Q}}$, so the statement is the same as for $\mathbb{Q}$.

Nov 16, 2010 at 19:15 comment added Felipe Voloch 2) is wrong. The map should go the other way and there should be only 3 branch points.
Nov 16, 2010 at 18:01 comment added Marc Palm Function fields and algebraic number fields!
Nov 16, 2010 at 17:49 comment added Emerton By other global fields do you mean function fields?
