Dominions in abelian subgroups of metabelian groups

  • Published:
Algebra and Logic Aims and scope

It is proved that a suitable free Abelian group of finite rank is not absolutely closed in the class \( {\mathcal A} \) 2 of metabelian groups. A condition is specified under which a torsion-free Abelian group is not absolutely closed in \( {\mathcal A} \) 2. Also we gain insight into the question when the dominion in \( {\mathcal A} \) 2 of the additive group of rational numbers coincides with this subgroup.
