Let be distinct prime numbers. A tripod-degree over p at l is defined to be an -adic unit obtained by forming the image, by the -adic cyclotomic character, of some continuous automorphism of the geometrically pro- fundamental group of a split tripod (i.e., a hyperbolic curve obtained by forming the complement in the projective line of three distinct rational points) over a finite field of characteristic . The notion of a tripod-degree plays an important role in the study of the geometrically pro- anabelian geometry of hyperbolic curves over finite fields. In this talk, we completely determine the set of tripod-degrees under a certain condition with respect to the pair . Moreover, we also discuss an application of this result to the study of the geometrically pro- anabelian geometry of split tripods over finite fields.
