Meanings

adj
  1. Of or relating to anabelian geometry, a proposed theory describing the way the algebraic fundamental group G of an algebraic variety (or some related geometric object) V determines how V can be mapped into another geometric object W, under the assumption that G is very far from being an abelian group, in a sense to be made more precise.

Pronunciation

/ˌænəˈbiliən/
