Abstract: We give necessary and sufficient conditions for weak and strong embeddability of amalgams in each subvariety of the category of all nilpotent groups of class at most two; this generalizes B. Maier's result for the latter class. We also discuss dominions (in the sense of Isbell), and characterize the weak, strong, and special amalgamation bases for each subvariety, contrasting the resulting classes with one another.

Review text

Let \({\mathcal N}_2\) be the variety of all nilpotent groups of class at most two. In the paper analogues of \textit{B. J. Maier}'s characterization of weak and strong embeddability of amalgams in \({\mathcal N}_2\) [Publ. Math. 31, 57-70 (1984; Zbl 0543.20023); ibid. 33, 43-52 (1986; Zbl 0601.20040)] are proved for each subvariety of \({\mathcal N}_2\). Besides analogues of \textit{D. Saracino}'s characterization of weak and strong amalgamation bases for \({\mathcal N}_2\) [Algebra Univers. 16, 47-62 (1983; Zbl 0517.20016)]; the author's work on dominions [Commun. Algebra 28, No. 3, 1241-1270 (2000; Zbl 0955.20012)] and on amalgamation bases in some varieties of nil-2-groups [Algebra Univers. 42, No. 1/2, 61-77 (1999; Zbl 0983.20032); arXiv: GR/0006065] are also given. The results are obtained by extending the methods used by the authors cited.
