Popis: By work of Belyĭ [2] , the absolute Galois group G Q = Gal ( Q ‾ / Q ) of the field Q of rational numbers can be embedded into A = Aut ( F ˆ 2 ) , the automorphism group of the free profinite group F ˆ 2 on two generators. The image of G Q lies inside G T ˆ , the Grothendieck-Teichmuller group. While it is known that every abelian representation of G Q can be extended to G T ˆ , Lochak and Schneps [13] put forward the challenge of constructing irreducible non-abelian representations of G T ˆ . We do this virtually, namely by showing that a rich class of arithmetically defined representations of G Q can be extended to finite index subgroups of G T ˆ . This is achieved, in fact, by extending these representations all the way to finite index subgroups of A = Aut ( F ˆ 2 ) . We do this by developing a profinite version of the work of Grunewald and Lubotzky [7] , which provided a rich collection of representations for the discrete group Aut ( F d ) .
