A finite generating set and finitely many relators in a free pro-p group, divided out by their closed normal closure. Relators are elements of the free pro-p group; they need not be finite ordinary words. A pro-p group with such a presentation is finitely presented in the pro- category.
Suppose is an open normal subgroup of a pro-p group and has a finite pro-p presentation. Choose lifts of generators of the finite quotient . Add finitely many relators giving their conjugation and inverse conjugation on the generators of , and replace each quotient relator by its value in . The resulting finite finite pro-p presentation maps onto . Its closed subgroup generated by the kernel generators is isomorphic to , and its quotient by that subgroup is exactly , so the map is also injective.
