Abstract: A profinite group is index-stable if any two isomorphic open subgroups have the same index. Let p be a prime, and let G be a compact p-adic analytic group with associated mathbbQp-Lie algebra mathcalL(G). We prove that G is index-stable whenever mathcalL(G) is semisimple. In particular, a just-infinite compact p-adic analytic group is index-stable if and only if it is not virtually abelian. Within the category of compact p-adic analytic groups, this gives a positive answer to a question of C. Reid. In the Appendix, J-P. Serre proves that G is index-stable if and only if the determinant of any automorphism of mathcalL(G) has p-adic norm 1.
