Abstract
The congruence subgroup problem for a finitely generated group and asks whether the map is injective, or more generally, what its kernel is. Here denotes the profinite completion of . In this paper we investigate , where is a free metabelian group on generators, and .
We show that in this case is abelian, but not trivial, and not even finitely generated. This behavior is very different from what happens for a free metabelian group on or generators, or for finitely generated nilpotent groups.
