The finite and solvable genus of finitely generated free and surface groups
Let C be the pseudovariety F of all finite groups or the pseudovariety S of all finite solvable groups and let Γ be either a finitely generated free group or a surface group. The C -genus of Γ, denoted by GC(Γ), consists of the isomorphism classes of finitely generated residually- C groups G having...

| Sumario: | Let C be the pseudovariety F of all finite groups or the pseudovariety S of all finite solvable groups and let Γ be either a finitely generated free group or a surface group. The C -genus of Γ, denoted by GC(Γ), consists of the isomorphism classes of finitely generated residually- C groups G having the same quotients in C as Γ. We show that the groups from GC(Γ) are residually-p for all primes p. This answers a question of Gilbert Baumslag and shows that the groups in the genus are residually finite rationally solvable groups. This leads to a positive solution of particular case of a question of Alexander Grothendieck: if F is a free group, G is a finitely generated residually- C group and u: F→ G is a homomorphism such that the induced map of pro- C completions uC^: FC^→ GC^ is an isomorphism, then u is an isomorphism |
