On the number of generators needed for free profinite products of finite groups
Abstract
We provide lower estimates on the minimal number of generators of the profinite completion of free products of finite groups. In particular, we show that if C1,...,Cn are finite cyclic groups then there exists a finite group G which is generated by isomorphic copies of C1,...,Cn and the minimal number of generators of G is n.
