Abstract
A virtual endomorphism of a group is a homomorphism where is a subgroup of of finite index . The triple produces a state-closed (or, self-similar) representation of on the -rooted -ary tree. This paper is a study of properties of the image when is nilpotent. In particular, it is shown that if is finitely generated, torsion-free and nilpotent then has solvability degree bounded above by the number of prime divisors of .
