Quantifying residual finiteness of linear groups

Residual properties and generalizations; residually finite groups (20E26) Asymptotic properties of groups (20F69) Linear algebraic groups over arbitrary fields (20G15)

Abstract: Normal residual finiteness growth measures how well a finitely generated group is approximated by its finite quotients. We show that any linear group

G a m m a l e q m a t h r m {G L}_{d} (K)

has normal residual finiteness growth asymptotically bounded above by

(n l o g n)^{d^{2} - 1}

; notably this bound depends only on the degree of linearity of

G a m m a

. We also give precise asymptotics in the case that

G a m m a

is a subgroup of a higher rank Chevalley group

G

and compute the non-normal residual finiteness growth in these cases. In particular, finite index subgroups of

G (m a t h b b Z)

and

G (m a t h b b F_{p} [t])

have normal residual finiteness growth

n^{d i m (G)} .
