review text: If \(G\) is a group, its (intrinsic) Cantor-Bendixson rank is the Cantor-Bendixson rank of the trivial subgroup in the space of normal subgroups of \(G\), equipped with the Chabauty topology. The author proves that for any ordinal \(\alpha<\omega^\omega\), there exists a \(2\)-generated finitely presented metabelian-by-(finite cyclic) group of Cantor-Bendixson rank \(\alpha\). He further gives exact computations of the Cantor-Bendixson rank of finitely generated metabelian groups, and also considers the Cantor-Bendixson rank of wreath products of finitely generated groups.
