Abstract
We examine finitely generated profinite groups in which two formal Dirichlet series, the subgroup zeta function and the probabilistic zeta function, coincide; we call these groups ζ-reversible. In the class of prosolvable groups of finite rank we show some sufficient conditions for this property to hold and we produce a structural characterisation of torsion-free prosolvable groups of rank two which are ζ-reversible. For pro-p groups several results support the conjecture that ζ-reversibility is equivalent to the property that every open subgroup has the same minimal number of generators of the group itself; in particular this holds for powerful pro-p groups.
