Abstract: Given a finite simplicial graph $calG$, the graph group $GcalG$" is the group with generators in one-to-one correspondence with the vertices of $calG$ and with relations stating two generators commute if their associated vertices are adjacent in $calG$. The Bieri-Neumann-Strebel invariant can be explicitly described in terms of the original graph $calG$ and hence there is an explicit description of the distribution of finitely generated normal subgroups of $GcalG$ with abelian quotient. We construct Eilenberg-MacLane spaces for graph groups and find partial extensions of this work to the higher dimensional invariants.
