4 Theorem | 1 Definition

This module studies closure from finite quotients for pro cgroups. Every element of the commutator subgroup is a product of at most \(n\) commutators. A product of at most \(m\) commutators is also a product of at most any larger bound \(n\).

A uniform finite-quotient commutator-width bound forces the commutator subgroup of a profinite group to be closed.
