Description:
In the present paper, we propose and supply evidence for the following conjecture, aimed at characterizing uniform pro- p groups. Suppose that p ≥3 and let G be a torsion-free pro- p group of finite rank. Then G is uniform if and only if its minimal number of generators is equal to the dimension of G as a p -adic manifold, i.e. d ( G ) = dim( G ). In particular, we prove that the assertion is true whenever G is soluble or p 〉 dim( G ).
