Profinite groups and completions
View through CrossRef
Abstract
A profinite group is by definition an inverse limit of finite groups. In this chapter we begin by discussing inverse limits in general, and then we show that profinite groups can be characterized in other ways too. Important and natural examples arise as profinite completions of abstract groups.
