Bogomolov–Pop's mod-ℓ\ell isomorphism conjecture

About 12 years old · traced to

Let K∣kK|k and L∣lL|l be function fields over algebraically closed fields. Let GKa\mathcal{G}_K^a and GLa\mathcal{G}_L^a denote the mod-ℓ\ell abelianized Galois groups, and let Isom⁡‾c(GLa,GKa)\underline{\operatorname{Isom}}^c(\mathcal{G}_L^a,\mathcal{G}_K^a) be the commutator-compatible isomorphisms modulo the natural (Z/ℓ)×(\mathbb{Z}/\ell)^\times-action. Let Isom⁡Fi(K,L)\operatorname{Isom}^i_F(K,L) denote the Frobenius-preserving field isomorphisms, with the canonical map induced by the inclusion into the perfect closure. Bogomolov–Pop's mod-ℓ\ell conjecture. If char⁡K≠ℓ\operatorname{char} K\neq\ell and tr.deg⁡(K∣k)≥2\operatorname{tr.deg}(K|k)\geq 2, then the canonical map

Isom⁡Fi(K,L)⟶Isom⁡‾c(GLa,GKa)\operatorname{Isom}^i_F(K,L)\longrightarrow\underline{\operatorname{Isom}}^c(\mathcal{G}_L^a,\mathcal{G}_K^a)

is a bijection. This is the mod-ℓ\ell analogue of the pro-ℓ\ell isomorphism conjecture and concerns reconstruction of function fields from their abelianized mod-ℓ\ell Galois data. The supplied source gives no resolution evidence, so the conjecture is recorded as open.
