Abstract
We show that the virtual singular braid monoid on strands embeds in a group , which we call the virtual singular braid group on strands. The group contains a normal subgroup of virtual singular pure braids. We show that is a semi-direct product of and the symmetric group . We provide a presentation for via generators and relations. We also represent as a semi-direct product of subgroups and study the structures of these subgroups. These results yield a normal form of words in the virtual singular braid group.
