On p-Separability of Subgroups of Free Metabelian Groups

Abstract

We prove that every free metabelian non-cyclic group has a finitely generated isolated subgroup which is not separable in the class of nilpotent groups. As a corollary, we prove that for every prime number p, an arbitrary free metabelian non-cyclic group has a finitely generated p′-isolated subgroup which is not p-separable.
