We present two uncountable families of finitely generated residually finite groups all having the same profinite completion. One consists of soluble groups, the other of branch groups.
We construct the first example of a finitely-presented, residually-finite group that contains an infinite sequence of non-isomorphic finitely-presented subgroups such that each of the inclusion maps induces an isomorphism of profinite…
We study a family of finitely generated residually finite groups. These groups are doubles $F_2*_H F_2$ of a rank-$2$ free group $F_2$ along an infinitely generated subgroup $H$. Varying $H$ yields uncountably many groups up to isomorphism.
We show that property (T) is not profinite, that is, we construct two finitely generated residually finite groups which have isomorphic profinite completions while one admits property (T) and the other does not. This settles a question…
We prove that there exist finitely presented, residually finite groups that are profinitely rigid in the class of all finitely presented groups but not in the class of all finitely generated groups. These groups are of the form $\Gamma…
We show that the group constructed in the 2004 paper 'A 2-generated just-infinite profinite group which is not positively finitely generated' by A. Lucchini is in fact hereditarily just infinite and contains every countably based profinite…
We introduce a class $\A$ of finitely generated residually finite accessible groups with some natural restriction on one-ended vertex groups in their JSJ-decompositions. We prove that the profinite completion of groups in $\A$ almost…
We study systematically groups whose marked finite quotients form a recursive set. We give several definitions, and prove basic properties of this class of groups, and in particular emphasize the link between the growth of the depth…
This article explores the interplay between the finite quotients of finitely generated residually finite groups and the concept of amenability. We construct a finitely generated, residually finite, amenable group $A$ and an uncountable…
We extend the theory of countably generated Demushkin groups to Demushkin groups of arbitrary rank. We investigate their algebraic properties and invariants, count their isomorphism classes and study their realization as absolute Galois…
Two finitely generated groups have the same set of finite quotients if and only if their profinite completions are isomorphic. Consider the map which sends (the isomorphism class of) an S-arithmetic group to (the isomorphism class of) its…
We present a construction that yields infinite families of non-isomorphic semidirect products $N \rtimes F_m$ sharing a specified profinite completion. Within each family, $m \ge 2$ is constant and $N$ is a fixed group. For $m=2$ we can…
We give a description of finitely generated prosoluble subgroups of the profinite completion of $3$-manifold groups and virtually compact special groups.
We consider pairs of finitely presented, residually finite groups $P\hookrightarrow\G$ for which the induced map of profinite completions $\hat P\to \hat\G$ is an isomorphism. We prove that there is no algorithm that, given an arbitrary…
We study the profinite genus of HNN-extensions whose associated subgroups are finite. We give precise formulas for the number of isomorphism classes of HNN(G,H,K,t,f) and of its profinite completion and compute the profinite genus of such…
This article is concerned with the representation growth of profinite groups over finite fields. We investigate the structure of groups with uniformly bounded exponential representation growth (UBERG). Using crown-based powers we obtain…
In this note we show that various (geometric/homological) finiteness properties are not profinite properties. For example for every $1 \le k, \ell \le \bbn$, there exist two finitely generated residually finite groups $\Ga_1$ and $\Ga_2$…
A subset S of a group G invariably generates G if G = <s^(g(s)) | s in S> for each choice of g(s) in G, s in S. In this paper we study invariable generation of infinite groups, with emphasis on linear groups. Our main result shows that a…
We exhibit infinitely many pairs of non-isomorphic finitely presented, residually finite groups $\Delta$ and $\Gamma$ with $\Delta$ having Property FA, $\Gamma$ having a non-trivial action on a tree and $\Delta$ and $\Gamma$ having…
This note constructs a finitely generated group $W$ whose word-growth is exponential, but for which the infimum of the growth rates over all finite generating sets is 1 -- in other words, of non-uniformly exponential growth. This answers a…
