Abstract
When studying subgroups of , one often replaces a given subgroup with one of its finite index subgroups so that virtual properties of become actual properties of . In many cases, the finite index subgroup is . For which properties is this a good choice? Our main theorem states that being abelian is such a property. Namely, every virtually abelian subgroup of is abelian.
