Metabelian groups with the same finite quotients

  • P.F. Pickel (a1)
Abstract

Let F(G) denote the set of isomorphism classes of finite quotients of the group G. Two groups G and H are said to have the same finite quotients if F(G) = F(H). We construct infinitely many nonisomorphic finitely presented metabelian groups with the same finite quotients, using modules over a suitably chosen ring. These groups also give an example of infinitely many nonisomorphic split extensions of a fixed finitely presented metabelian group by a fixed finite abelian group, all having the same finite quotients.
