Finitely generated nilpotent groups are finitely presented and residually finite

چکیده
Definition 1. Let G be a group. G is said to be residually finite if the intersection of all normal subgroups of G of finite index in G is trivial. For a survey of results on residual finiteness and related properties, see Mag-nus, Karrass, and Solitar [6, Section 6.5]. We shall present a proof of the following well known theorem, which is important for Kharlampovich [4, 5]. See also O. V. Belegradek's review of [5] in Mathematical Reviews.

Nilpotent Completions of Groups, Grothendieck Pairs, and Four Problems of Baumslag
Two groups are said to have the same nilpotent genus if they have the same nilpotent quotients. We answer four questions of Baumslag concerning nilpotent completions. (i) There exists a pair of finitely generated, residually torsion-free-nilpotent groups of the same nilpotent genus such that one is finitely presented and the other is not. (ii) There exists a pair of finitely presented, residual...
متن کاملResidual P-Finiteness of Certain Generalized Free Products of Nilpotent Groups
We show that free products of finitely generated and residually p-finite nilpotent groups, amalgamating p-closed central subgroups are residually p-finite. As a consequence, we are able to show that generalized free products of residually p-finite abelian groups are residually p-finite if the amalgamated subgroup is closed in the pro-p topology on each of the factors.
متن کاملThe isomorphism problem for residually torsion-free nilpotent groups
Both the conjugacy and isomorphism problems for finitely generated nilpotent groups are recursively solvable. In some recent work, the first author, with a tiny modification of work in the second author’s thesis, proved that the conjugacy problem for finitely presented, residually torsion-free nilpotent groups is recursively unsolvable. Here we complete the algorithmic picture by proving that t...
متن کاملOn the Residual Solvability of Generalized Free Products of Finitely Generated Nilpotent Groups
In this paper we study the residual solvability of the generalized free product of finitely generated nilpotent groups. We show that these kinds of structures are often residually solvable.
متن کاملOn the Conjugacy Separability in the Class of Finite P -groups of Finitely Generated Nilpotent Groups
It is proved that for any prime p a finitely generated nilpotent group is conjugacy separable in the class of finite p-groups if and only if the tor-sion subgroup of it is a finite p-group and the quotient group by the torsion subgroup is abelian. 1. Let K be a class of groups. A group G is called residual K (or K-residual) if for each non-unit element a ∈ G there is a homomorphism ϕ of G onto ...
