Maximal subgroup growth of a few polycyclic groups

Group Theory 2019-11-19 v1

Abstract

We give here the exact maximal subgroup growth of two classes of polycyclic groups. Let Gk=x1,x2,...,xkxixjxi1xj for all i<jG_k = \langle x_1, x_2, ..., x_k \mid x_ix_jx_i^{-1}x_j \text{ for all } i < j \rangle. So Gk=Z(Z(Z...Z)G_k = \mathbb{Z} \rtimes (\mathbb{Z} \rtimes (\mathbb{Z} \rtimes ... \rtimes \mathbb{Z}). Then for all k2k \geq 2, we calculate mn(Gk)m_n(G_k), the number of maximal subgroups of GkG_k of index nn, exactly. Also, for infinitely many groups HkH_k of the form Z2G2\mathbb{Z}^2 \rtimes G_2, we calculate mn(Hk)m_n(H_k) exactly.
