Groups of profinite type and profinite rigidity

View through CrossRef
Abstract We say that a group ???? is of profinite type if it can be realized as a Galois group of some field extension. Using Krull’s theory, this is equivalent to ???? admitting a profinite topology. We also say that a group of profinite type is profinitely rigid if it admits a unique profinite topology. In this paper, we study when abelian groups and some group extensions are of profinite type or profinitely rigid. We also discuss the connection between the properties of profinite type and profinite rigidity to the injectivity and surjectivity of the cohomology comparison maps, which were studied by Sury and other authors.

Abstract We say that a group ???? is of profinite type if it can be realized as a Galois group of some field extension.

We also say that a group of profinite type is profinitely rigid if it admits a unique profinite topology.
In this paper, we study when abelian groups and some group extensions are of profinite type or profinitely rigid.
We also discuss the connection between the properties of profinite type and profinite rigidity to the injectivity and surjectivity of the cohomology comparison maps, which were studied by Sury and other authors.
