    The \(\Sigma^2\)-conjecture for metabelian groups is discussed, and it is proved to be true in the case of split extensions. Note that the \(\Sigma^m\)-conjecture is still an open problem in the general case, and that the proofs given here are inspired by the geometric methods introduced by \textit{R. Bieri} and \textit{R. Strebel} [Proc. Lond. Math. Soc., III. Ser. 41, 439-464 (1980; Zbl 0448.20029)] in order to prove the \(FP_2\)-conjecture for finitely generated metabelian groups.
