We show that each finitely generated group $G$ lying in a variety ${\\mathcal M}$ can be embedded in a $4$-generated group $H \\in {\\mathcal M}{\\mathcal A}$ (${\\mathcal A}$ means the variety of abelian groups). If $G$ is a finite group, then $H$ can also be found as a finite group. It follows, that any finitely generated (finite) solvable group $G$ of the derived length $l$ can be embedded in a $4$-generated (finite) solvable group $H$ of length $l+1$. Thus, we answer the question of V. H. Mikaelian and A.Yu. Olshanskii. It is also shown that any countable group $G\\in {\\mathcal M}$, such that the abelianization $G_{ab}$ is a free abelian group, is embeddable in a $2$-generated group $H\\in {\\mathcal M}{\\mathcal A}$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2020-09-21T15:33:06.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "20F16", "20E22" ], "keywords": [ "solvable group", "embedding theorems", "generated group", "finite group", "free abelian group" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 11, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
