Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to generalize YalΓ§in's result [Trans. Amer. Math. Soc. 352, 2689β2700 (2000)] from tori to solvmanifolds. As a result, we prove that if (β€~p~)^r^ acts freely on a solvmanifold M of dimension n, then r β€ n (Β© 2010 WILEYβVCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)

## Abstract This paper explores the connection between homeomorphisms of the unit circle, codimensionβ1 measured laminations on closed surfaces, and free actions of surface groups on IRβtrees.

We present an algorithm for determining the Fitting subgroup of a polycyclicby-finite group. As applications we describe methods for calculating the centre and the FC-centre and for exhibiting the nilpotent-by-abelian-by-finite structure of a polycyclic-by-finite group.
