Bridson–Reid conjecture on profinite rigidity of hyperbolic 3-manifold groups

About 2 years old · traced to

Let GG and HH be lattices in PSL2(C)PSL_2(\mathbb{C}), and let G^\widehat{G} and H^\widehat{H} denote their profinite completions. Bridson–Reid conjecture. If

G^≅H^,\widehat{G}\cong\widehat{H},

then

G≅H.G\cong H.

This is a profinite-rigidity question for lattices in PSL2(C)PSL_2(\mathbb{C}). The conjecture has been proved for certain examples, but remains open in general; the source also notes a stronger version in which HH may be any finitely generated, residually finite group.
