Bridson–Reid's profinite rigidity conjecture for hyperbolic 3-manifolds

Let M\mathcal{M} and N\mathcal{N} be hyperbolic 33-manifolds. Their profinite completions are the inverse limits of their finite quotient groups. The manifolds are commensurable if they share a common finite-degree covering space. Bridson–Reid's profinite rigidity conjecture. If the profinite completions of π1(M)\pi_1(\mathcal{M}) and π1(N)\pi_1(\mathcal{N}) are isomorphic, then M\mathcal{M} and N\mathcal{N} are commensurable. This is described in the paper as a notorious open problem and is presented as motivation for a weakening related to the congruence subgroup property.
