Apr 15, 2014 at 1:31 comment added Benjamin Steinberg @HJRW, this is why I hedged to the rf case.
Apr 14, 2014 at 20:54 comment added HJRW Of course, a group with no finite quotients might be said to satisy Schreier's index formula. So without the assumption of residual finiteness, the question is essentially vacuous.

Apr 14, 2014 at 16:10 comment added Benjamin Steinberg Let me hedge and assume the group is residually finite.
Apr 14, 2014 at 16:02 comment added Benjamin Steinberg I believe only a free group satisfies Schreier's index formula and that this was first observed by van den Dries and Lubotzsky, who proved a pro-p analogue.
Apr 14, 2014 at 13:29 comment added Pablo Yes it does denote that.
Apr 14, 2014 at 12:05 comment added HenrikRüping Does $d$ denote the minimal number of generators of a group?
