On primitive representations of soluble groups of finite rank

In the paper it is proved, in particular, that a group is polycyclic if and only if it is soluble of finite rank, satisfies the ascending chain condition for normal subgroups and admits a faithful irreducible primitive representation over a field of characteristic zero. Methods are developed that enable one to study induced representations of nilpotent and soluble groups of finite rank.
