Finite subgroups of the profinite completion of good groups
Abstract
Let be a residually finite, good group of finite virtual cohomological dimension. We prove that the natural monomorphism induces a bijective correspondence between conjugacy classes of finite -subgroups of and those of its profinite completion . Moreover, we prove that the centralizers and normalizers in of finite -subgroups of are the closures of the respective centralizers and normalizers in . With somewhat more restrictive hypotheses, we prove the same results for finite solvable subgroups of . In the last section, we give a few applications of this theorem to hyperelliptic mapping class groups and virtually compact special toral relatively hyperbolic groups (these include fundamental groups of -orbifolds and of uniform standard arithmetic hyperbolic orbifolds).
