Algorithms for the Tits alternative and related problems

A. S. Detinko, D. L. Flannery, E. A. O'Brien

Published 2019-05-13Version 1

We present an algorithm that decides whether a finitely generated linear group over an infinite field is solvable-by-finite: a computationally effective version of the Tits alternative. We also give algorithms to decide whether the group is nilpotent-by-finite, abelian-by-finite, or central-by-finite. Our algorithms have been implemented in MAGMA and are publicly available.
