Abstract: Let G be a generalized Baumslag-Solitar group and mathcalC be a class of groups containing at least one non-unit group and closed under taking subgroups, extensions, and Cartesian products of the form prodyinYXy, where X,YinmathcalC and Xy is an isomorphic copy of X for every yinY. We give a criterion for G to be residually a mathcalC-group provided mathcalC consists only of periodic groups. We also prove that G is residually a torsion-free mathcalC-group if mathcalC contains at least one non-periodic group and is closed under taking homomorphic images. These statements generalize and strengthen some known results. Using the first of them, we provide criteria for a GBS-group to be a) residually nilpotent; b) residually torsion-free nilpotent; c) residually free.
