Equations in virtually class 2 nilpotent groups

Group Theory 2023-06-22 v7

Abstract

We give an algorithm that decides whether a single equation in a group that is virtually a class 22 nilpotent group with a virtually cyclic commutator subgroup, such as the Heisenberg group, admits a solution. This generalises the work of Duchin, Liang and Shapiro to finite extensions.
