Abstract:
In the present paper, which forms the third part of a three-part series on an algorithmic approach to absolute anabelian geometry, we apply the absolute anabelian technique of Belyi cuspi- dalization developed in the second part, together with certain ideas contained in an earlier paper of the author concerning the category- theoretic representation of holomorphic structures via either the topo- logical group SL2(R) or the use of “parallelograms, rectangles, and squares”, to develop a certain global formalism for certain hyperbolic orbicurves related to a once-punctured elliptic curve over a number field. This formalism allows one to construct certain canonical rigid integral structures, which we refer to as log-shells, that are obtained by applying the logarithm at various primes of a number field. Moreover, although each of these local logarithms is “far from being an isomor- phism”bothinthesensethatitfailstorespecttheringstructures involved and in the sense (cf.

More generally, if one thinks of number fields as corresponding to positive characteristic hyperbolic curves and of once-punctured elliptic curves on a number field as corresponding to nilpotent ordinary indigenous bundles on a positive characteristic hyperbolic curve, then many aspects of the theory developed in the present paper are reminiscent of (the positive characteristic portion of) p-adic Teichmu ̈ller theory.
