A group G is torsion-free, finitely generated, and nilpotent if and only if G is a supersolvable R-group. An ordered polycylic group G is nilpotent if and only if there exists an order on G with respect to which the number of convex subgroups is one more than the length of G. If the factors of the upper central series of a torsion-free nilpotent group G are locally cyclic, then consecutive terms of the series are jumps, and the terms are absolutely convex subgroups.
