Abstract: We introduce the pseudovariety of finite groups U = ∨ p ∈ ℙ A b (p) ∗ A b (p − 1) , where ℙ is the set of all primes. We show that U consists of all finite supersolvable groups with elementary abelian derived subgroup and abelian Sylow subgroups, and so U has decidable membership problem. We prove that it is decidable whether or not a finitely generated subgroup of a free group is closed or dense for the pro- U topology. We consider also the pseudovariety of finite groups A b (p) ∗ A b (d) (where p is a prime and d divides p − 1). We study the pro- (A b (p) ∗ A b (d)) topology on a free group and construct the unique generator of minimum size of the pseudovariety A b (p) ∗ A b (d). Finally, we prove that the variety of groups generated by U is the variety of all metabelian groups, obtaining also results on the varieties generated by a Baumslag–Solitar group of the form B S (1 , q) for q prime.
