On the finite presentation of subdirect products and the nature of residually free groups

We establish {\em{virtual surjection to pairs}} (VSP) as a general criterion for the finite presentability of subdirect products of groups: if $\Gamma_1,...,\Gamma_n$ are finitely presented and $S<\Gamma_1\times...\times\Gamma_n$ projects to a subgroup of finite index in each $\Gamma_i\times\...
