Abstract: We will investigate quasi-randomness for profinite groups. We will obtain bounds for the mininal degree of non-trivial representations of $mathrm{SL}_k(mathbbZ/(p^{n}mathbbZ))$ and $mathrm{Sp}_{2k}(mathbbZ/(p^{n}mathbbZ))$. Our method also delivers a lower bound for the minimal degree of a faithful representation for these groups. Using the suitable machinery from functional analysis, we establish exponential lower and upper bounds for the supremal measure of a product-free measurable subset of the profinite groups $mathrm{SL}_k(mathbb{Z}_p)$ and $mathrm{Sp}_{2k}(mathbb{Z}_p)$. We also obtain analogous bounds for a special subgroup of the automorphism group of a regular tree.
