Abstract

In this paper, we prove that all finitely generated 3-manifold groups are Grothendieck rigid. More precisely, for any finitely generated 3-manifold group GG and any finitely generated proper subgroup H<GH<G, we prove that the inclusion induced homomorphism i^:H^G^\widehat{i}:\widehat{H}\to \widehat{G} on profinite completions is not an isomorphism.
