Hausdorff dimensions in $p$-adic analytic groups
Abstract
Let be a finitely generated pro- group, equipped with the -power series. The associated metric and Hausdorff dimension function give rise to the Hausdorff spectrum, which consists of the Hausdorff dimensions of closed subgroups of . In the case where is -adic analytic, the Hausdorff dimension function is well understood; in particular, the Hausdorff spectrum consists of finitely many rational numbers closely linked to the analytic dimensions of subgroups of . Conversely, it is a long-standing open question whether the finiteness of the Hausdorff spectrum implies that is -adic analytic. We prove that the answer is yes, in a strong sense, under the extra condition that is soluble. Furthermore, we explore the problem and related questions also for other filtration series, such as the lower -series, the Frattini series, the modular dimension subgroup series and quite general filtration series. For instance, we prove, for odd primes , that every countably based pro- group with an open subgroup mapping onto 2 copies of the -adic integers admits a filtration series such that the corresponding Hausdorff spectrum contains an infinite real interval.
