Abstract

We call a pro-pp group GG Frattini-injective if distinct finitely generated subgroups of GG have distinct Frattinis. This paper is an initial effort toward a systematic study of Frattini-injective pro-pp groups (and several other related concepts). Most notably, we classify the pp-adic analytic and the solvable Frattini-injective pro-pp groups, and we describe the lattice of normal abelian subgroups of a Frattini-injective pro-pp group. We prove that every maximal pro-pp Galois group of a field that contains a primitive ppth root of unity (and also contains 1\sqrt{-1} if p=2p=2) is Frattini-injective. In addition, we show that many substantial results on maximal pro-pp Galois groups are in fact consequences of Frattini-injectivity. For instance, a pp-adic analytic or solvable pro-pp group is Frattini-injective if and only if it can be realized as a maximal pro-pp Galois group of a field that contains a primitive ppth root of unity (and also contains 1\sqrt{-1} if p=2p=2); and every Frattini-injective pro-pp group contains a unique maximal abelian normal subgroup.
