The Bogomolov-Pop reconstruction theorem

Abstract — v1

We prove the Bogomolov–Pop reconstruction conjecture for function fields of transcendence degree at least two over arbitrary algebraically closed fields of characteristic different from ℓ. The pro-ℓ abelian-by-central datum determines the perfect closure and its constant field, with precisely the Frobenius and ℓ-adic unit ambiguities.
