  For a finitely generated group $G$ we calculate the
Bieri-Neumann-Strebel-Renz invariant $\Sigma^1(\X(G))$ for the weak
commutativity construction $\X(G)$. Identifying $S(\X(G))$ with $S(\X(G) /
W(G))$ we show $\Sigma^2(\X(G),\Z) \subseteq \Sigma^2(\X(G)/ W(G),\Z)$ and
$\Sigma^2(\X(G)) \subseteq $ $ \Sigma^2(\X(G)/ W(G))$ that are equalities when
$W(G)$ is finitely generated and we explicitly calculate $\Sigma^2(\X(G)/
W(G),\Z)$ and $ \Sigma^2(\X(G)/ W(G))$ in terms of the $\Sigma$-invariants of
$G$. We calculate completely the $\Sigma$-invariants in dimensions 1 and 2 of
the group $\nu(G)$ and show that if $G$ is finitely generated group with
finitely presented commutator subgroup then the non-abelian tensor square $G
\otimes G$ is finitely presented.
