We establish the lower bound p 2 t ( e , e ) exp ( t 1 / 3 ) , for the large times asymptotic behaviours of the probabilities p 2 t ( e , e ) of return to the origin at even times 2 t , for random walks associated with finite symmetric generating sets of solvable groups of finite Prüfer rank. (A group has finite Prüfer rank if there is an integer r , such that any of its finitely generated subgroup admits a generating set of cardinality less or equal to r .)
