Garside elements, inertia and Galois action on braid groups

An important piece of information in the theory of the arithmetic Galois action on the geometric fundamental groups of schemes is that divisorial inertia is acted on cyclotomically. We detail in this note the content of this fact in the case of the profinite braid groups arising from complex reflection groups, naturally viewing them as the geometric fundamental groups of the attending classifying spaces. We also include the case of the full (non colored) braid groups, whose completed classifying spaces are Deligne-Mumford stacks rather than schemes.
