A sufficient condition for finite presentability of abelian-by-nilpotent groups

Group Theory 2014-05-20 v2

Abstract

A recipe for obtaining finitely presented abelian-by-nilpotent groups is given. It relies on a geometric procedure that generalizes the construction of finitely presented metabelian groups introduced by R. Bieri and R. Strebel in 1980.
