Efrat's arithmetical Elementary Type Conjecture
Let be a field containing a root of unity of order and such that is finitely generated. A free pro- product decomposition is an expression
Efrat's arithmetical Elementary Type Conjecture. There is such a decomposition where, for each , one of the following holds: ; is the decomposition group of some extension of a valuation on to with nontrivial inertia group; or and . This conjecture is the arithmetical form of the Elementary Type Conjecture, describing finitely generated maximal pro- Galois groups through free products of elementary building blocks and valuation-theoretic decomposition groups. Its resolution status is not specified in the supplied text.
