<p>Dear All! I guess this should be well-known, but I cannot find it in literature:</p> <p>Is it true that if $H$ is a subgroup of finite index in $G$, and $H$ is hopfian, then $G$ is also hopfian?</p> <p>In case when the groups are finitely generated, the answer is "yes" by R. Hirshon.</p> <p>(And the other way around question has answer no, as was kindly answered by Kate Juschenko, even for finitely generated case -- which is quite bizarre!!!)</p>

<p>Baumslag-Solitar group BS(12,18) is Hopfian, but it contains normal subgroup of finite index which is not Hopfian. </p> <p>it is proved in the following paper:</p> <p>Baumslag; Solitar: Some two-generator one-relator non-Hopfian groups.</p>
