Abstract
We prove the Virtual Surjection Conjecture for discrete groups, both for property and for property : given a product of groups of type (respectively ), a subgroup that virtually surjects onto -tuples must be (respectively ) as well. We prove the homological -- Conjecture for discrete groups under the assumption the common quotient is finitely presented, and prove that this assumption cannot be dropped. We deduce the -- Conjecture for property .
