Computing Mislin genera of certain groups with non-abelian torsion radicals
(University of the Western Cape, 2004)
In this mini-thesis we present some generalities of non-cancellation and localization
and we compute non-cancellation groups. We consider groups belonging to the class
X0 of all finitely generated groups that have finite ...
