Algorithms for linear groups of finite rank

Group Theory 2019-05-14 v1

Abstract

Let GG be a finitely generated solvable-by-finite linear group. We present an algorithm to compute the torsion-free rank of GG and a bound on the Pr\"{u}fer rank of GG. This yields in turn an algorithm to decide whether a finitely generated subgroup of GG has finite index. The algorithms are implemented in MAGMA for groups over algebraic number fields.
