The one-ended limit group profinite splitting conjecture
The one-ended limit group profinite splitting conjecture
A limit group is a finitely generated subgroup of a group obtained from a free group by finitely many extensions of centralizers, and it is one-ended when it has one end. For a group , write for its profinite completion and let a free profinite product be denoted by . One-ended limit group profinite splitting conjecture. The profinite completion of a one-ended limit group does not split as a free profinite product. This is posed as a direction for extending profinite detection results beyond fundamental groups of graphs of virtually free groups with virtually cyclic edge groups; the supplied text gives no resolution status.
