Residual properties of 3-manifold groups

Let p be a prime. A group is called residually p if for any
non-trivial element there exists a homomorphism to a p-group such that
the image of the element is non-trivial. A group is called virtually
residually p, if it contains a finite index which is residually p.
It is well-known that linear groups are virtually residually p.
Hyperbolic 3-manifolds have linear fundamental groups and it is an
open problem whether all 3-manifold groups are linear. We will show
that any 3-manifold group is virtually residually p.
This is joint work with Matthias Aschenbrenner.
