On accessibility for pro-$p$ groups

Group Theory 2018-11-07 v1

Abstract

We define the notion of accessibility for a pro-pp group. We prove that finitely generated pro-pp groups are accessible given a bound on the size of their finite subgroups. We then construct a finitely generated inaccessible pro-pp group, and also a finitely generated inaccessible discrete group which is residually pp-finite.
