Exact residual finiteness growth conjecture for torsion-free nilpotent groups
Exact residual finiteness growth conjecture for torsion-free nilpotent groups
Let be a torsion-free nilpotent group, and let be the constant in the previously established upper bound for the residual finiteness growth . Exact residual finiteness growth conjecture. For every torsion-free nilpotent group it holds that
The paper presents this as the conjecture that the cited upper bound is exact; the preceding theorem establishes the corresponding restricted growth function using normal subgroups containing , but not the asserted equality for itself.
