[parent] pro-$p$ group (Definition)
Definition 1   Let $p$ be a prime number. A group $G$ is a pro-$p$ group if $G$ is a profinite group which is isomorphic to the inverse limit of some projective system of $p$ -groups.
Example 1   The $p$ -adic integers $\Ints_p$ form a pro-$p$ group since: $$\Ints_p=\varprojlim \Ints/p^n\Ints.$$
