Let $G$ be a Fuchsian group whose profinite completion is finitely generated. Must $G$ be finitely generated?

A Fuchsian group is a discrete subgroup of $\mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb{R})$ or $\mathrm{PSL}_2(\mathbb{R})$.

    $\begingroup$ Every fuchsian group is either finitely generated or is isomorphic to a countably infinite free product of cyclic groups. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ mathoverflow.net/questions/223658/engulfing-kleinian-groups/…, the same example. A suggestion: It is good that you have so many questions, but perhaps you should think a bit more about the answers you already got before asking more questions at the rate you do. $\endgroup$
