Abstract

A finitely generated residually finite group GG is an OE^\widehat{OE}-group if any action of its profinite completion G^\widehat G on a profinite tree with finite edge stabilizers admits a global fixed point. In this paper, we study the profinite genus of free products G1HG2G_1*_HG_2 of OE^\widehat{OE}-groups G1,G2G_1,G_2 with finite amalgamation HH. Given such G1,G2,HG_1,G_2,H we give precise formulas for the number of isomorphism classes of G1HG2G_1*_HG_2 and of its profinite completion. We compute the genus of G1HG2G_1*_HG_2 and list various situations when the formula for the genus simplifies.
