Abstract

In the spirit of the section conjecture, a section should behave like a rational point. In particular, we should be able to evaluate a function in a section. At least for invertible functions this can be achieved via Kummer theory, see Definition 57, if we accept that the values will be taken in a certain completion of the multiplicative group of the ground field.
