Metabelian groups #
Metabelian groups are group extensions 1 → K → G → Q → 1 with both the kernel
and the quotient Abelian.
Such an extension is determined by data:
We define the cocycle condition and construct a group structure on a structure extending K × Q.
The main step is to show that the cocyle condition implies associativity.
The multiplication operation defined using the cocycle. The cocycle condition is crucially used in showing associativity and other properties.
