Jul 6, 2011 at 15:52 comment added Adrien Also you can find a description of the action on finite type invariant at the end of the book of Kassel and Turaev "Quantum groups and knot invariants"
Jul 6, 2011 at 15:51 comment added Adrien Well, you can check the link above wehre somebody asked a similar question, and the nice answer of Damien. From the algebraic perspective, you can read the paper of Bar Natan "On associators and the Grothendieck-Teichmuller group". For the relation with the absolute Galois group, there are a lot of surveyx on the webpage of Leila Schneps : math.jussieu.fr/~leila/articles.html
Jul 6, 2011 at 14:48 comment added asv Is there a good place to read about it?
Jul 6, 2011 at 14:20 comment added Adrien Now these fundamental groups are close to braid group, which explain partially the relation with knots. But the precise role that it plays in braid theory, quantum algebra and so on really comes from the beautiful work of Drinfeld.
Jul 6, 2011 at 14:19 comment added Adrien So far I know, dessin d'enfants encodes finite covering of $P^1(\mathbb{C}-0,1,\infty$, which is isomorphic to the moduli space $M_{0,4}$ of Riemann spheres whith 4 marked points. On the other hand, as explained in the first link I pointed out, the Grothendieck-Teichmuller group is the automorphism group of the "tower" of fundamental groups of the $M_{0,n}$ equipped with natural geometric operations like adding or erasing points. So they have the same origin and in both case the faithfulness follows from Belyi's theorem.

Jul 6, 2011 at 13:32 comment added asv The examples of knots and quantum algebra are new for me. Are they directly related to dessins d'enfants or the construction of the action of $G_{\mathbb{Q}}$ is really different? (Even if such a relation does exist, I can imagine that by itself it should be very surprising and far from obvious.)
