Abstract.

Let \(\Gamma\) be a polycyclic-by-finite group. It is proved in [8] that \(\Gamma\) admits a polynomial action of bounded degree on \(\mathbb{R}^n\) which is properly discontinuous and such that the quotient \(\Gamma\backslash \mathbb{R}^n\) is compact. We prove here that such an action is unique up to conjugation by a polynomial transformation of \(\mathbb{R}^n\).
