Abstract

In this paper, we characterize the genus of an arbitrary torsion-free finitely generated nilpotent group of class two and of Hirsch length six by means of a finite number of arithmetical invariants. An algorithm which permits the enumeration of all possible genera that can occur under the conditions above is also given.
