Abstract

The main result of the paper is that the real characters of a group G of type FPm (Fm respectively) that do not vanish on a normal locally polycyclic-by-finite subgroup represent elements of the geometric invariant [sum ]m(G, ℤ) ([sum ]m(G) respectively). In the case m = 2 a stronger result is proved. Some consequences of the main result are considered.
