Title:Â Distinguishing finitely presented groups by their finite quotients.
Abstract:Â If G is a finitely generated group, let C(G) denote the set of finite quotients of G. Â This talk will survey work on the question of to what extent C(G) determines G up to isomorphism, culminating in a discussion of examples of Fuchsian and Kleinian groups that are determined by C(G) (amongst finitely generated residually finite groups).
