Abstract
A family of pseudovarieties of solvable groups is constructed, each of which has decidable membership and undecidable extension problem for partial permutations. Included are a pseudovariety U satisfying no non-trivial group identity and a metabelian pseudovariety Q. For each of these pseudovarieties V, the inverse monoid pseudovariety Sl∗V has undecidable membership problem. As a consequence, it is proved that the pseudovariety operators ∗, ∗∗, m○, ♦, ♦n, andP do not preserve decidability. In addition, several joins, including A ∨ U, are shown to be undecidable.
