โฆ Synopsis
We show that if โซ is a finitely presented normal subgroup of a product G = G 1 2
of Fuchsian groups which projects nontrivially to each factor, then โซ 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uses the author's previous reduction of the descrip-1 2 tion of normal subdirect products to the abelian case and an unpublished result of N. C. Carr on the rigidity of normal subdirect products of diagonal rank one.

## Abstract In this note we treat maximal and minimal normal subgroups of a superstable group and prove that these groups are definable under certain conditions. Main tool is a superstable version of Zil'ber's indecomposability theorem. MSC: 03C60.
Suppose that H is a subgroup of a finite group G and that G is generated by the conjugates of H. In this paper, we consider the following question: when can G be generated by two conjugates of H? We began the study of this question in [2]. In order to discuss the results proved in [2] and in this p
