Generation of polycyclic groups
In this note we give an alternative proof of a theorem of Linnell and Warhurst that the number of generators d(G) of a polycyclic group G is at most d(\hat G), where d(\hat G) is the number of generators of the profinite completion of G. While not claiming anything new we believe that our argument i...
