Krull-Schmidt Theorem for small profinite groups

Abstract:
We prove that every small profinite group can be decomposed into a direct product of indecomposable profinite groups, and that such a decomposition is unique up to order and isomorphisms of the components. We also investigate the cancellation property of some free pro-\mathcal {C} groups, and give a new criterion for a profinite group to be small.
