Abstract

Further properties of a group $\Gamma$ introduced by the first author in 1980 (sometimes called the first Grigorchuk group) are established. These are notably that any two infinite finitely generated subgroups of $\Gamma$ have isomorphic subgroups of finite index and that the generalized word problem for $\Gamma$ is soluble.
