| Jan 11, 2018 at 9:48 | comment | added | Yiftach Barnea | Of course not, we cannot even classify finite groups. I am just looking for a list of interesting families for which it would be interesting to examine questions. Finitely generated linear groups are residually finite, but this is probably too general to any specifc question I have in mind. | |
