The nilpotent-by-abelian FP_m conjecture
Let be a finitely generated nilpotent-by-abelian group. Let be a nilpotent normal subgroup with abelian, and consider the factors of the lower central series of . Suppose that the direct sum of all these factors is a finitely generated -module and is -tame. The nilpotent-by-abelian conjecture. Then is of type . The conjecture is motivated by the centraliser theorem, its corollaries, and Groves' sufficient conditions; the paper notes that the corresponding Bredon conjecture holds for , but leaves this general finiteness assertion open.
