A class of groups is said to have the small embedding property if every amalgam of two groups from amalgamating a normal subgroup embeds into a group not generating the variety of all groups. Very few large classes have the small embedding property. For example, the minimal non-abelian varieties containing non-abelian finite groups do not; neither does any class of groups containing ; but the set of finitely generated groups in a nilpotent variety not containing does have the small embedding property.
