Abstract

Let MM be a compact 3-manifold with infinite fundamental group Γ\Gamma. Given a homomorphism from Γ\Gamma to a pp-adic analytic group GG with dense image, we describe the possible mod-pp homology growth of covers MnM_n of MM determined by the congruence subgroups GnG_n. If dd = dim(GG) > 3, this growth is always non-trivial, growing at least as fast as Vol(MnM_n)(d1)/d^{(d-1)/d}.
