The two-random-elements conjecture for full-dimensional closures
The two-random-elements conjecture for full-dimensional closures
Let be the profinite automorphism group of the rooted -ary tree, and let the closure of a subgroup generated by random elements be considered in the profinite topology. Theorem 3random states that the subgroup of generated by three random elements has -dimensional closure with probability . The two-random-elements conjecture. The same conclusion holds for two random elements: the subgroup of generated by two random elements has -dimensional closure with probability . The preceding theorem establishes the analogous assertion for three random elements, while the source proposes the two-generator version without giving a resolution.
