Universality of the Galois action on the fundamental group of $\mathbb{P}^{1}\setminus\{0,1,\infty\}$

We prove that any semisimple representation of the Galois group of a number field coming from geometry appears as a subquotient of the ring of regular functions on the pro-algebraic completion of the fundamental group of the projective line with three punctures.

Abstract

We prove that any semisimple representation of the Galois group of a number field coming from geometry appears as a subquotient of the ring of regular functions on the pro-algebraic completion of the fundamental group of the projective line with three punctures.
