Finiteness conditions for the non-abelian tensor product of groups
  Let $G$, $H$ be groups. We denote by $\eta(G,H)$ a certain extension of the non-abelian tensor product $G \otimes H$ by $G \times H$. We prove that if $G$ and $H$ are groups that act compatibly on each other and such that the set of all tensors $T_{\otimes}(G,H)=\{g\otimes h \, : \, g \in G, \, h\in H\}$ is finite, then the non-abelian tensor product $G \otimes H$ is finite. In the opposite direction we examine certain finiteness conditions of $G$ in terms of similar conditions for the tensor square $G \otimes G$.
