Abstract

We present possible extensions of the quantum statistical mechanical formulation of class field theory to the non-abelian case, based on the action of the absolute Galois group on Grothendieck's dessins d'enfant, the embedding in the Grothendieck-Teichmüller group, and the Drinfeld-Ihara involution.
