This book acknowledges the varied incarnations of the fundemental group: pro-finite, L-adic, p-adic, pro-algebraic and motivic. It explores a weaelth of topics that range from anabelian geometry (in particular the section conjecture), the L-adic polylogarithm, gonality questions…

<P>In the more than 100 years since the fundamental group was first introduced by Henri Poincaré it has evolved to play an important role in different areas of mathematics. Originally conceived as part of algebraic topology, this essential concept and its analogies have found nu…

The section conjecture in anabelian geometry, announced by Grothendieck in 1983, is concerned with a description of the set of rational points of a hyperbolic algebraic curve over a number field in terms of the arithmetic of its fundamental group. While the conjecture is still o…
