On $p$-nonsingular systems of equations over solvable groups

Group Theory 2024-10-29 v3

Abstract

Any group that has a subnormal series, in which all factors are abelian and all except the last one are pp'-torsion-free, can be embedded into a group with a subnormal series of the same length, with the same properties and such that any pp-nonsingular system of equations over this group is solvable in this group itself. This helps us to prove that the minimal order of a metabelian group, over which there is a unimodular equation that is unsolvable in metabelian groups, is 42.
