β¦ Synopsis
A sufficient condition is obtained for the residual torsion-free nilpotence of certain finitely presented metabelian groups that arise from a matrix representa-Ε½ . tion developed by Magnus 1939, Ann. of Math. 40, 764α768 for metabelian Ε½ groups. Using this condition and a construction due to Baumslag 1973, J. Austral.
. Math. Soc. 16, 98α110 , we prove that a free metabelian group of finite rank can be embedded in a finitely presented metabelian group that is also residually torsionfree nilpotent.

In this paper we prove the following theorem: THEOREM 1.5. Let G be an infinite, simple, K \*-group of finite Morley rank with a strongly embedded subgroup M. Assume that the Sylow 2-subgroups of G ha¨e infinitely many commuting in¨olutions. Then M is sol¨able. Ž . If, in addition, G is tame, then
We show that if β« is a finitely presented normal subgroup of a product G = G 1 2 of Fuchsian groups which projects nontrivially to each factor, then β« has finite index in G = G . The proof uses the author's previous reduction of the descrip-1 2 tion of normal subdirect products to the abelian case
Let F be a free group of rank n. Denote by Out F its outer automorphism n n group, that is, its automorphism group modulo its inner automorphism group. For arbitrary n, by considering group actions on finite connected graphs, we derived the maximum order of finite abelian subgroups in Out F . Moreov
