In an earlier paper [Abelian groups, rings and modules. Proceedings of the AGRAM 2000 conference, Perth, Australia, July 9-15, 2000. Providence, RI: American Mathematical Society (AMS). Contemp. Math. 273, 223-238 (2001; Zbl 0981.20018)] the author established a criterion under which the wreath product of the Abelian groups \(A\) and \(B\) generates the product variety \(\text{var}(A)\text{var}(B)\). If one of the groups has infinite exponent this is always true, but in the case where both exponents are finite the condition is rather complicated. The aim of this paper is to show that if \(A\) and \(B\) are finitely generated Abelian groups with finite exponents, then their wreath product generates the product variety if and only if the exponents are co-prime. The paper ends with a section giving examples to show that one cannot hope to extend these results to non-Abelian groups. For the entire collection see [Zbl 1031.20001].
