Description
Given a field $K$, finitely generated and of transcendence degree $2$ over the algebraic closure of a prime field, we may now reconstruct $K$ from the maximal $2$-step nilpotent pro-$\ell$ quotient of its absolute Galois group. This allows us to construct a complete (albeit countably infinite) set of geometric obstructions for an element of the Grothendieck-Teichmüller group to come from an element of the absolute Galois group of $\mathbb{Q}$.
