Counting the Closed Subgroups of Profinite Groups

Group Theory 2008-09-30 v1 General Topology

Abstract

The sets of closed and closed-normal subgroups of a profinite group carry a natural profinite topology. Through a combination of algebraic and topological methods the size of these subgroup spaces is calculated, and the spaces partially classified up to homeomorphism.
