Abstract
The Euler class of a group admitting a cocompact classifying space for proper actions was first defined by Luck and is closely related to several Euler characteristics for groups. We show how to use posets of finite subgroups to obtain some formulas for the Euler class of a virtually solvable group of type $FP_\infty$.
