The nilpotent-by-abelian FP_m conjecture

About 17 years old · traced to

Let GG be a finitely generated nilpotent-by-abelian group. Let NN be a nilpotent normal subgroup with Q=G/NQ=G/N abelian, and consider the factors of the lower central series of NN. Suppose that the direct sum of all these factors is a finitely generated Z(G/N)\mathbb{Z}(G/N)-module and is mm-tame. The nilpotent-by-abelian FP⁡m\operatorname{FP}_m conjecture. Then GG is of type FP⁡m\operatorname{FP}_m. The conjecture is motivated by the centraliser theorem, its corollaries, and Groves' sufficient conditions; the paper notes that the corresponding Bredon conjecture holds for m=2m=2, but leaves this general finiteness assertion open.
