Finite presentability of generalized Bruck–Reilly ∗-extension of groups
In [Finite presentability of Bruck–Reilly extensions of groups, J. Algebra 242 (2001) 20–30], Araujo and Ruškuc studied finite generation and finite presentability of Bruck–Reilly extension of a group. In this paper, we aim to generalize some results given in that paper to generalized Bruck–Reilly ∗-extension of a group. In this way, we determine necessary and sufficent conditions for generalized Bruck–Reilly ∗-extension of a group, [Formula: see text], to be finitely generated and finitely presented. Let [Formula: see text] be a group, [Formula: see text] be morphisms and [Formula: see text] ([Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are the [Formula: see text]- and [Formula: see text]-classes, respectively, contains the identity element [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text]). We prove that [Formula: see text] is finitely generated if and only if there exists a finite subset [Formula: see text] such that [Formula: see text] is generated by [Formula: see text]. We also prove that [Formula: see text] is finitely presented if and only if [Formula: see text] is presented by [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] is a finite set and [Formula: see text] [Formula: see text] for some finite set of relations [Formula: see text].
