| dc.description.abstract | Broadly speaking, a finiteness property of groups is any generalisation of the property
of having finite order. A large part of infinite group theory is concerned with
finiteness properties and the relationships between them. Profinite groups are an
important case of this, being compact topological groups that possess an intimate
connection with their finite images. This thesis investigates the relationship between
several finiteness properties that a profinite group may have, with consequences for
the structure of finite and profinite groups. | en_US |
