Language: English
Part of speech: noun
Forms: form: profinite groups

Senses: examples: text: This proposition shows that to have a representation with big image of a profinite group, for example, a Galois group, we need to take a profinite topological ring A as a coefficient ring, like the p-adic integer ring #92;Z#95;p.
ref: 2000, Haruzo Hida, Modular Forms and Galois Cohomology, Cambridge University Press, page 28:
text: We have already pointed out that a profinite group G of an infinite rank m is free of rank m if (and only if) G is projective and every finite split embedding problem for G with a nontrivial kernel has m solutions (Proposition 9.4.7). Dropping the condition on G to be projective leads to the notion of a "quasi-free profinite group" (Section 10.6).

Recall that a profinite group is an inverse limit of an inverse system of finite groups, with the p-adic numbers being the canonical example. Any finite group is, of course, profinite, but when we talk of a profinite group we assume that the group is infinite.
