Abstract

We prove that a polygonal product of polycyclic by finite groups amalgamating normal subgroups, with trivial mutual intersections, is cyclic subgroup separable. Because of a recent example (stated below) of the author this substantial improvement on a recent theorem of Kim is essentially best possible.
