Arbitrarily large Galois orbits of non-homeomorphic surfaces

Arbitrarily large Galois orbits of non-homeomorphic surfaces
Arbitrarily large Galois orbits of non-homeomorphic surfaces

It has recently been proved that any element σ of the absolute Galois group GalQ¯/Q different from the identity and complex conjugation conjugates some surface S into a surface Sσ with non-isomorphic fundamental group. Here we use group theory to construct, for each integer n⩾ 0 , an n-dimensional family of complex surfaces whose conjugates under GalQ¯/Q exhibit arbitrarily many non-isomorphic fundamental groups. These fundamental groups nevertheless have isomorphic profinite completions. The surfaces constructed are isogenous to higher products via actions of groups PGL 2(p) on algebraic curves.

Abstract

It has recently been proved that any element σ of the absolute Galois group GalQ¯/Q different from the identity and complex conjugation conjugates some surface S into a surface Sσ with non-isomorphic fundamental group. Here we use group theory to construct, for each integer n⩾ 0 , an n-dimensional family of complex surfaces whose conjugates under GalQ¯/Q exhibit arbitrarily many non-isomorphic fundamental groups. These fundamental groups nevertheless have isomorphic profinite completions. The surfaces constructed are isogenous to higher products via actions of groups PGL 2(p) on algebraic curves.
