Extract

In an earlier paper (5) we showed that a finitely generated nilpotent group which is not abelian-by-finite has a primitive irreducible representation of infinite dimension over any non-absolute field. Here we are concerned primarily with the converse question: Suppose that G is a polycyclic-by-finite group with such a representation, then what can be said about G?
