On some anabelian properties of arithmetic curves

In this paper we generalize an argument of Neukirch from birational anabelian geometry to the case of arithmetic curves. In contrast to the function field case, it seems to be more complicate to describe the position of decomposition groups of points at the boundary of the scheme $\Spec \caO_{K,S}$, where $K$ is a number field and $S$ a set of primes of $K$, intrinsically in terms of the fundamental group. We prove that it is equivalent to give the following pieces of information additionally with the fundamental group $π_1(\Spec \caO_{K,S})$: the location of decomposition groups of boundary points inside it, the $p$-part of the cyclotomic character, the number of points on the boundary of all finite etale covers, etc. Under certain finiteness hypothesis on Tate-Shafarevich groups with divisible coefficients, one can reconstruct all this quantities from the fundamental group alone.
