On induced morphism of Mislin genera.
Let N be a nilpotent group with torsion subgroup TN, and let α: TN → T' be a surjective homomorphism such that kerα is normal in N. Then α determines a nilpotent group Ñ such that TÑ = T' and a function α* from the Mislin genus of N to that of Ñ in N (and hence Ñ) is finitely generated. The association α → α* satisfies the usual functiorial conditions. Moreover [N,N] is finite if and only if [Ñ,Ñ] is finite and α* is then a homomorphism of abelian groups. If Ñ belongs to the special class studied...
