The Grothendieck-Teichmüller group \(\widehat{GT}\) was defined by \textit{V. G. Drinfel'd} [Leningr. Math. J. 2, No. 4, 829-860 (1991); translation from Algebra Anal. 2, No. 4, 149-181 (1990; Zbl 0718.16034)]. In the paper under review, a certain subgroup of \(\widehat{GT}\) is defined which contains the image of the absolute Galois group \(\text{Gal}(\overline\mathbb{Q}/\mathbb{Q})\) in \(\widehat{GT}\), and which gives an automorphism group of the profinite completions of certain surface mapping class groups with geometric compatibility conditions. These results fit into the program of \textit{A. Grothendieck} [Lond. Math. Soc. Lect. Note Ser. 242, 5-48 (1997; Zbl 0901.14001)]\ suggesting the existence of a Teichmüller tower constructed out of the pure subgroups of the mapping class groups of marked surfaces.
