Abstract:
Let be a lattice in . The pro-normal topology on is defined by taking all cosets of nontrivial normal subgroups as a basis. This topology is finer than the pro-finite topology, but it is not discrete. We prove that every finitely generated subgroup is closed in the pro-normal topology. As a corollary we deduce that if is a maximal subgroup of a lattice in , then either is of finite index or is not finitely generated.
