Abstract:

A   valuated group with normal forms is a group  with an integer-valued length function satisfying some Lyndon's axioms  and an additional axiom considered by Hurley. We prove a  subgroup theorem for valuated groups with normal forms analogous to   Grushko-Neumann's theorem. We study also the CSA property in such groups.
