In this paper we classify ail infinite metacyclic groups up to isomorphism
and determine their non-abelian tensor squares. As an application we comput
e various other functors, among them are the exterior square, the symmetric
product, and the second homology group for these groups. We show that an i
nfinite non-abelian metacyclic group is capable if and only if it is isomor
phic to the infinite dihedral group.
