Review text

The aim of this paper is to sketch a proof of the following conjecture (also called the birational conjecture): A finitely generated infinite field is completely determined by its absolute Galois group. A first proof of the birational conjecture can be found in the author's preprint ``On Grothendieck's conjecture of birational anabelian geometry. II (Heidelberg-Mannheim Prepr. Ser., Arithmetik II, No. 16, April 1995). Roughly speaking, the proof presented here (which goes by induction on the Kronecker dimension of the field) uses the local theory developed by the author [see \textit{F. Pop}, Ann. Math. 139, 145-182 (1994; Zbl 0814.14027)], and de Jong's result on alterations [see \textit{A. J. de Jong}, Publ. Math., Inst. Hautes Étud. Sci. 83, 51-93 (1996; Zbl 0916.14005)] to produce a non-singular model of a finite extension of the field in question dominating any given model of the field. The author also notes that Mochizuki found another proof of the birational conjecture, using a completely different method [see \textit{Sh. Mochizuki}, ``The local pro-\(p\) Grothendieck conjecture for hyperbolic curves, Res. Inst. Math. Sci., Preprint 1045 (1995)]. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0932.00042].
