Profinite rigidity among free-by-(finite cyclic) groups

Distinguishing groups by their finite quotients (i.e. profinite rigidity) has been an active area of research. In the talk, I will explain a recent result in this spirit concerning groups with a f.g. free normal subgroup giving a finite cyclic quotient. The proof relies a lot on Bass-Serre theory. The result also implies that free-by-cyclic groups defined by automorphisms which have finite order in Out(Fn) are distinguished (up to isomorphism) by their finite quotients. This is joint work with Martin Bridson.
