Abstract
In [], A. Nies introduces the notion of a quasi-finitely axiomatizable (QFA) group. He proves that the free nilpotent group of class 2 with 2 generators is QFA, and that it is a prime model of its theory. Our results, stated below in full generality, provide, in particular, a complete characterization of QFA nilpotent groups (in particular, any finitely generated nonabelian free nilpotent group is QFA). They imply that each finitely generated nilpotent group is QFA if and only if it is a prime model of its theory.
