Pro-\(l\) pure braid groups of Riemann surfaces and Galois representations (Q1199250)

After giving some characterizations on the pro-\(\ell\) pure braid groups of Riemann surfaces, the authors consider the following problem: \(X\) is a smooth irreducible algebraic curve of genus \(g\) over a field \(k\) of characteristic 0 and \(\ell\) is a prime number. For each \(n = 1,2,\dots\) they consider the configuration space \(Y_ n = F_{0,n}\), \(X = \{(p_ 1,p_ 2,\dots,p_ n)\in X^ n: p_ i \neq p_ j\) for \(i\neq j\}\). In this case the Galois group \(\text{Gal }(\overline{k}/k)\) acts outerly on the pro-\(\ell\) fundamental group \(P_ n = \pi_ 1^{pro-\ell}(Y_ n)\); \(\varphi_ n: \text{Gal}(\overline{k}/k) \to \text{Out }P_ n\). The authors prove that \(\varphi_ n\) has the same kernel for all sufficiently large \(n\geq n_ 0 = n_ 0(X/k,\ell)\).
