Abstract We prove that the sign of the Euler characteristic of arithmetic groups with the congruence subgroup property is determined by the profinite completion. In contrast, we construct examples showing that this is not true for the Euler characteristic itself and that the sign of the Euler characteristic is not profinite among general residually finite groups of type F. Our methods imply similar results for $\ell^2$ -torsion as well as a strong profiniteness statement for Novikov–Shubin invariants.

A profinite group G is positively finitely generated (PFG) if for some k, the probability P(G,k) that k random elements generate G is positive. It was conjectured that if G is PFG, then the function P(G,k) can be interpolated to an analytic function defined in some right half-plane. Here that conjecture is formulated more precisely, and verified for (the profinite completion of) arithmetic groups satisfying the congruence subgroup property.

AbstractThe class of multi-EGS groups is a generalisation of the well-known Grigorchuk–Gupta–Sidki (GGS-)groups. Here we classify branch multi-EGS groups with the congruence subgroup property and determine the profinite completion of all branch multi-EGS groups. Additionally, our results show that branch multi-EGS groups are just infinite.

Abstract We study a family of finitely generated residually finite groups. These groups are doubles F 2 * H F 2 F_{2}*_{H}F_{2} of a rank-2 free group F 2 F_{2} along an infinitely generated subgroup 𝐻. Varying 𝐻 yields uncountably many groups up to isomorphism.

AbstractIn 2013, Kharlampovich, Myasnikov, and Sapir constructed the first examples of finitely presented residually finite groups with large Dehn functions. Given any recursive function
