Definition

A finitely generated nilpotent group is a group satisfying the following equivalent conditions:

  1. It is finitely generated and nilpotent.
  2. It is finitely presented and nilpotent.
  3. It is Noetherian (i.e., every subgroup is finitely generated -- this is also described using the adjective "slender") and nilpotent.
  4. It is nilpotent and its abelianization is finitely generated.
