Abstract:
We consider several equivalent definitions of the so-called Milnor
laws (or Milnor identities) that is the laws which are not
satisfied in $\mathfrak{A}_p\mathfrak{A}$ varieties.
The purpose of this article is to provide algorithms that allow us to check whether a given identity $w(x,y)$ has one of the following properties:
$w(x,y)$ is a Milnor law,
every nilpotent group satisfying $w(x,y)$ is abelian,
every finitely generated metabelian group satisfying $w(x,y)$ is finite-by-abelian.
