Virtually solvable group Created 2026-10-06 Updated 2026-10-14
A group is virtually solvable, or virtually soluble, when it contains a solvable group as a finite-index subgroup. This is preserved under subgroups, quotients and group extensions. The extension proof can use a finite-index characteristic soluble subgroup of the kernel, followed by centralizing the resulting finite normal kernel. Finite generation is not required for these closure properties.
