Abstract: By work of Belyi, the absolute Galois group $G_{mathbbQ}=mathrmGal(overlinemathbbQ/mathbbQ)$ of the field $mathbbQ$ of rational numbers can be embedded into $A=mathrmAut(widehat{F}_2)$, the automorphism group of the free profinite group $widehat{F}_2$ on two generators. The image of $G_{mathbbQ}$ lies inside $widehatGT$, the Grothendieck-Teichm"uller group. While it is known that every abelian representation of $G_{mathbbQ}$ can be extended to $widehatGT$, Lochak and Schneps put forward the challenge of constructing irreducible non-abelian representations of $widehatGT$. We do this virtually, namely by showing that a rich class of arithmetically defined representations of $G_{mathbbQ}$ can be extended to finite index subgroups of $widehatGT$. This is achieved, in fact, by extending these representations all the way to finite index subgroups of $A=mathrmAut(widehat{F}_2)$. We do this by developing a profinite version of the work of Grunewald and Lubotzky, which provided a rich collection of representations for the discrete group $mathrmAut(F_d)$.
