Abstract

In 1972 K.I.Tahara [7,2 Theorem 2.2.5], using cohomological method, showed that if a finite group G=T<NG=T\rhd<N is the semidirect product of a normal subgroup NN and a subgroup TT, then M(T)M(T) is a direct factor of M(G)M(G), where M(G)M(G) is the Schur-multiplicator of GG and in the finite case, is the second cohomology group of GG. In 1977 W.Haebich [1 Theorem 1.7] gave another proof using a different method for an arbitrary group GG . In this paper we generalize the above theorem . We will show that NcM(T){\cal N}_cM(T) is a direct factor of NcM(G){\cal N}_cM(G), where Nc{\cal N}_c [3 page 102] is the variety of nilpotent groups of class at most c1c\geq 1 and NcM(G){\cal N}_cM(G) is {\it the Baer-invariant} of the group GG with respect to the variety Nc{\cal N}_c [3 page 107] .
