We prove that the analog of the Grushko-Neumann theorem does not hold for profinite free products of profinite groups. To do that we bound the number of generators of a finite group generated by a family of subgroups of pairwise coprime orders.
In 1991 Dixon and Kovacs 8 showed that for each field K which has finite degree over its prime subfield there is a number d such that every K finite nilpotent irreducible linear group of degree n G 2 over K can be w x wx ' generated by d nr log n elements. Afterwards Bryant et al. 3 proved K ' d G F
We study the number of homomorphisms from a finite group to a general linear group over a finite field. In particular, we give a generating function of such numbers. Then the Rogers-Ramanujan identities are applicable.
