Although polycyclic-by-finite groups need not be solvable, they still have many of the finiteness properties of polycyclic groups; for example, they satisfy the maximal condition, and they are finitely presented and 402:, which by Hirsch's theorem can also be expressed as a group which has a finite length subnormal series with each factor a finite group or an infinite 542: 385: 105: 39: 86: 58: 43: 612: 592: 65: 587: 304:(1967) and Swan proved the converse, that any polycyclic group is up to isomorphism a group of integer matrices.
