Abstract

We prove two conjectures on pro-p groups made by Herfort, Ribes and Zalesskii. The first says that a finitely generated pro-p group which has an open free pro-p subgroup of index p is a free pro-p product H-0*(S-1 x H-1)* ...*(S-m x H-m), where the H-i are free pro-p of finite rank and the S-i are cyclic of order p. The second says that if F is a free pro-p group of finite rank and S is a finite p-group of automorphisms of F, then Fix(S) is a free factor of F. The proofs use cohomology, and in particular a "Brown theorem" for profinite groups.
