Extract

The cohomology of finitely generated metabelian groups has been studied in a series of papers by Bieri, Groves, and Strebel [2, 3, 4]. In particular, Bieri and Groves [2] have shown that every metabelian group of type (FP)∞ is of finite rank, and so is virtually of type (FP). The purpose of the present paper is to provide a generalization of this result and to use our methods to prove the existence of a pathological class of finitely generated soluble groups.
