On the Cantor-Bendixson rank of metabelian groups
[Sur le rang de Cantor-Bendixson des groupes métabéliens]
Annales de l'Institut Fourier, Tome 61 (2011) no. 2, pp. 593-618.

On étudie le rang de Cantor-Bendixson des groupes métabéliens ou virtuellement métabéliens dans l’espace des groupes marqués, et on exhibe notamment une suite (G n ) de groupes virtuellement métabéliens de présentation finie à deux générateurs, de rang de Cantor-Bendixson égal à ω n .

We study the Cantor-Bendixson rank of metabelian and virtually metabelian groups in the space of marked groups, and in particular, we exhibit a sequence (G n ) of 2-generated, finitely presented, virtually metabelian groups of Cantor-Bendixson rank ω n .
