Abstract
In this note we characterise all finitely generated groups elementarily equivalent to a solvable Baumslag-Solitar group BS. It turns out that a finitely generated group is elementarily equivalent to BS if and only if is isomorphic to BS. Furthermore, we show that two Baumslag-Solitar groups are existentially (universally) equivalent if and only if they are elementarily equivalent if and only if they are isomorphic.
