Abstract
The statement “no non-Abelian simple group can be obtained from a non-simple one by adding one generator and one relator” first is equivalent to the Kervaire-Laudenbach conjecture, and second, becomes true under the additional assumption that an initial non-simple group is either finite or torsion free.
