Integrality and arithmeticity of solvable linear groups

We develop a practical algorithm to decide whether a finitely generated subgroup of a solvable algebraic group G is arithmetic. This incorporates a procedure to compute a generating set of an arithmetic subgroup of G. We also provide a simple new algorithm for integrality testing of finitely generated solvable-by-finite linear groups over the rational field. The algorithms have been implemented in Magma. © 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
