Profinite rigidity of fibring

Abstract

We introduce the classes of TAP groups, in which various types of algebraic fibring are detected by the non-vanishing of twisted Alexander polynomials. We show that finitely presented LERF groups lie in the class TAP1(R)\mathsf{TAP}_1(R) for every integral domain RR, and deduce that algebraic fibring is a profinite property for such groups. We offer stronger results for algebraic fibring of products of limit groups, as well as applications to profinite rigidity of Poincar\'e duality groups in dimension 33 and RFRS groups.
