Capability and homological functors of infinite two - generator groups of nilpotency class two

A group is called capable if it is a central factor group. Baer characterized finitely generated abelian groups which are capable as those groups which have two or more factors of maximal order in their direct decomposition. The capability of groups have been determined for infinite metacyclic group...
