A correction to a result of B. Maier

Arturo Magidin

Published 2001-02-27Version 1

In a 1985 paper, Berthold J. Maier gave necessary and sufficient conditions for the weak embeddability of amalgams of two nilpotent groups of class two over a common subgroup. Then he derived simpler conditions for some special cases. One of his subsequent results is incorrect, and we provide a counterexample. Finally, we provide a fix for the result.
