Bogomolov–Pop's mod-\ell isomorphism conjecture

Let KkK|k and LlL|l be function fields over algebraically closed fields. Let GKa\mathcal{G}_K^a and GLa\mathcal{G}_L^a denote the mod-\ell abelianized Galois groups, and let Isomc(GLa,GKa)\underline{\operatorname{Isom}}^c(\mathcal{G}_L^a,\mathcal{G}_K^a) be the commutator-compatible isomorphisms modulo the natural (Z/)×(\mathbb{Z}/\ell)^\times-action. Let IsomFi(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-\ell conjecture. If charK\operatorname{char} K\neq\ell and tr.deg(Kk)2\operatorname{tr.deg}(K|k)\geq 2, then the canonical map

IsomFi(K,L)Isomc(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-\ell analogue of the pro-\ell isomorphism conjecture and concerns reconstruction of function fields from their abelianized mod-\ell Galois data. The supplied source gives no resolution evidence, so the conjecture is recorded as open.
