The purpose of the present paper is to give a topological proof of the fact that the free product of two residually finite groups with a finite subgroup amalgamated is itself residually finite. This theorem, which is due to G. Baumslag [2], is a generalization of the corresponding result for ordinar

In this paper we show that a (non-abelian) free pro-p group cannot be obtained as a closed subgroup of GL n F , where F is a non-archimedean local field and n is arbitrary. Using a theorem of E. I. Zel'manov we deduce some group theoretic properties of linear pro-p groups over a local field. Our mai
A homogeneous production has its left-hand side formed by a non-empty string of identical nonterminals. A phrase-structure grammar is homogeneous if each of its productions is homogeneous. The present paper discusses the reduction of homogeneous grammars with respect to the number of non-context-fre
