چکیده
In the first part, we prove that the dominion (in the sense of Isbell) of a subgroup of a finitely generated nilpotent group is trivial in the category of all nilpotent groups. In the second part, we show that the dominion of a subgroup of a finitely generated nilpotent group of class two is trivial in the category of all metabelian nilpotent groups. Section

Dominions in varieties of nilpotent groups
The concept of dominion (in the sense of Isbell) is investigated in several varieties of nilpotent groups. A complete description of dominions in the variety of nilpotent groups of class at most 2 is given, and used to prove nontriviality of dominions in the variety of nilpotent groups of class at most c for any c>1 . Some subvarieties of N2 , and the variety of all nilpotent groups of class at...
متن کاملNilpotent 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 کاملFitting quotients of finitely presented abelian-by-nilpotent groups
We show that every finitely generated nilpotent group of class 2 occurs as the quotient of a finitely presented abelian-by-nilpotent group by its largest nilpotent normal subgroup.
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 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...
