Abstract: Let

n g e 2

. In this paper we study some properties of the virtual singular braid group

V S G_{n}

. We define some numerical invariants for virtual singular braids arising from exponents of words in

V S G_{n}

and describe the kernel of these homomorphisms. We determine all possible homomorphisms, up to conjugation, from the virtual singular braid group

V S G_{n}

to the symmetric group

S_{n}

, and for the particular case

n = 2

we give a presentation (and a description) for the kernel in each case. For all possible homomorphisms we obtain a decomposition of

V S G_{n}

as a semi-direct product of the kernel of the homomorphism and the symmetric group. Finally, we show that there are some forbidden relations in

V S G_{n}

and then we introduce some quotients of it (e.g. the welded singular braid group, the unrestricted virtual singular braid group, among other related groups) and then we state for them similar results obtained for

V S G_{n}

.
