Quantum Statistical Mechanics of the Absolute Galois Group

An error occurred while generating the citation.

Abstract

We present possible extensions of the quantum statistical mechanical formulation of class field theory to the non-abelian case, based on the action of the absolute Galois group on Grothendieck's dessins d'enfant, the embedding in the Grothendieck-Teichmüller group, and the Drinfeld-Ihara involution.
