Abstract

We study the character theory of metabelian and polycyclic groups. It is used to investigate Hilbert–Schmidt stability via the character-theoretic criterion of Hadwin and Shulman. There is a close connection between stability and dynamics of automorphisms of compact abelian groups. Relying on this, we deduce that finitely generated virtually nilpotent groups, free metabelian groups, lamplighter groups as well as upper triangular groups over certain rings of algebraic integers are Hilbert–Schmidt stable.
