Generalized Inertia Conjecture

About 6 years old · traced to

Let r≥1r\geq 1 be an integer, let GG be a finite quasi pp-group, and for each 1≤i≤r1\leq i\leq r let IiI_i be a subgroup of GG that is an extension of a pp-group PiP_i by a cyclic group of order prime to pp. Write PiGP_i^G for the set of conjugates of PiP_i in GG, and assume

G=⟨P1G,…,PrG⟩.G=\langle P_1^G,\ldots,P_r^G\rangle.

Let B={x1,…,xr}B=\{x_1,\ldots,x_r\} be a set of closed points in P1\mathbb{P}^1.

Generalized Inertia Conjecture. There is a connected GG-Galois cover of P1\mathbb{P}^1 étale away from BB such that IiI_i occurs as an inertia group above xix_i for 1≤i≤r1\leq i\leq r.

This generalizes the one-point Inertia Conjecture to prescribed inertia groups at several points. The paper notes partial results for certain cases, including levels l∈{0,1}l\in\{0,1\}, but the conjecture is not settled in general.
