Abstract
For any prime and group , denote the pro- completion of by . Let be the class of all groups such that, for each natural number and prime number , , where is viewed as a discrete, trivial -module. In this article we identify certain kinds of groups that lie in . In particular, we show that right-angled Artin groups are in and that this class also contains some special types of free products with amalgamation.

The revisions in the second version pertain to the exposition: the proof of Prop. 1.1, in particular, now includes more details. The third version includes a proof that right-angled Artin groups are residually $p$-finite for every prime $p$
