The section conjecture for the toric fundamental group over $p$-adic fields

Abstract

The toric fundamental group is the smallest extension of the \'etale fundamental group which can manage the monodromy of line bundles, in addition to the monodromy of finite \'etale covers. It is an extension of the \'etale fundamental group by a projective limit of tori. We prove the analogue of Grothendieck's section conjecture for the toric fundamental group over finite extensions of $\mathbb{Q}_{p}$.
