It is shown that any finitely generated, non-elementary Fuchsian group has among its homomorphic images all but finitely many of the alternating groups A n . This settles in the affirmative a long-standing conjecture of Graham Higman.

this paper is dedicated to helmut wielandt on the occasion of his 90th birthday Let A be a transitive subgroup of S n . We show that the largest cyclic quotient of A has order at most n. This can be interpreted as an equivalent result about extensions of constants in the Galois closure of a coverin

We show that if ⌫ is a finitely presented normal subgroup of a product G = G 1 2 of Fuchsian groups which projects nontrivially to each factor, then ⌫ has finite index in G = G . The proof uses the author's previous reduction of the descrip-1 2 tion of normal subdirect products to the abelian case
