%0 Journal Article %T A finiteness condition on the coefficients of the probabilistic zeta function %A Hoang Dung Duong %A Andrea Lucchini %J International Journal of Group Theory %D 2013 %I University of Isfahan %X We discuss whether finiteness properties of a profinite group $G$ can be deduced from the coefficients of the probabilisticzeta function $P_G(s)$. In particular we prove that if $P_G(s)$ is rational and all but finitely many non abelian composition factors of $G$ are isomorphic to $PSL(2,p)$ for some prime $p$, then $G$ contains only finitely many maximal subgroups. %K Probabilistic zeta function %K finiteness conditions %K special linear groups %U http://www.theoryofgroups.ir/?_action=showPDF&article=2760&_ob=6ca06204ff8803a9692e43ba9bbb64d6&fileName=full_text.pdf.
