Abstract
We prove that if a Cartesian product of alternating groups is topologically finitely generated, then it is the profinite completion of a finitely generated residually finite group G. The same holds for Cartesian products of other simple groups under some natural restrictions. As an easy application of our construction, we find examples of groups G with a wide range of representation growth.
