Calculating the genus of a direct product of certain nilpotent groups.
The Mislin genus G(N) of a finitely generated nilpotent group N with finite commutator subgroup admits an abelian group structure. If N satisfies some additional conditions -we say that N belongs to N1- we know exactly the structure of G(N). Considering a direct product N1 x ... x Nk of groups in N1 takes us virtually always out of N1. We here calculate the Mislin genus of such a direct product.
