review text: This paper studies three different versions (integral/rational/mod-\(p\)) of Alexander invariants of a group \(G\), defined as follows:\N\begin{itemize}\N\item The \textbf{(integral) Alexander invariant} \(B(G)\) of the group \(G\) is defined as \(B(G):=G'/G''\), where \(G':=[G,G]\) and \(G''=[G',G']\). \(B(G)\) has the structure of a \(\mathbb Z[G_{\mathrm{ab}}]\)-module induced by conjugation in the maximal metabelian quotient \(G/G''\) of \(G\), where \(G_{\mathrm{ab}}:=G/G'\) is the abelianization of \(G\).\N\item The \textbf{rational Alexander invariant} \(B_{\mathbb Q}(G)\) of the group \(G\) is defined as \(B_{\mathbb Q}(G):=G'_{\mathbb Q}/G''_{\mathbb Q}\), where \(G'_{\mathbb Q}=\sqrt{G'}:=\langle g\in G\mid g^m\in G'\text{ for some }m\in\mathbb N\rangle\), and \(G''_{\mathbb Q}:=\sqrt{[G'_{\mathbb Q},G'_{\mathbb Q}]}\). \(B_{\mathbb Q}(G)\) has the structure of a \(\mathbb Z[G_{\mathrm{abf}}]\)-module induced by conjugation in the maximal torsion-free metabelian quotient \(G/G''_{\mathbb Q}\) of \(G\), where \(G_{\mathrm{abf}}:=G/G'_{\mathbb Q}\) is the maximal torsion-free abelian quotient of \(G\).\N\item For every prime \(p\), the \textbf{mod-\(p\) Alexander invariant} \(B_p(G)\) of the group \(G\) is defined as \(B_p(G):=G'_p/G''_p\), where \(G'_p:=\langle G^p, [G,G]\rangle\) is the subgroup generated by \(G^p:=\langle g^p\mid g\in G\rangle\) and \(G'\), and \(G''_p:=\langle \left(G'_p\right)^p,\left[G'_p,G'_p\right]\rangle\). \(B_p(G)\) has the structure of a \(\mathbb Z_p[H_1(G;\mathbb Z_p)]\)-module induced by conjugation in the maximal metabelian \(p\)-quotient \(G/G''_{p}\) of \(G\).\N\end{itemize}\N\NThe three versions (integral, rational and mod-\(p\)) of the Alexander invariant have a topological interpretation as the first homology of certain covering spaces associated to the group \(G\). More concretely, let \(X\) be a connected topological space such that \(\pi_1(X)\cong G\). Then,\N\begin{itemize}\N\item \(B(G)\cong H_1(X^{\mathrm{ab}},\mat…
