Sutherland–Voloch anabelian conjecture for Hilbert class field towers of curves

Let CC and DD be smooth projective curves of equal genus at least 22 over a finite field F{\mathbb F}. Embed CC into its Jacobian and define its Hilbert class field cover H(C)H(C); set H0(C):=CH_0(C):=C, H1(C):=H(C)H_1(C):=H(C), and recursively Hn+1(C):=Hn(H(C))H_{n+1}(C):=H_n(H(C)) for n1n\geq 1, with analogous definitions for DD. Sutherland–Voloch conjecture. If, for each nn, there are choices of twists such that the LL-function of Hn(C)H_n(C) equals the LL-function of Hn(D)H_n(D) for all n0n\geq 0, then CC is isomorphic to a conjugate of DD. This conjecture relates arithmetic data from iterated Hilbert class field covers to the isomorphism class of a curve; the supplied text does not state a resolution.
