3-Manifold Groups and Fundamental Group Conjectures - Lecture 3

Explore the third lecture in a series on 3-manifold groups, delivered by Daniel Groves at the Workshop on Groups around 3-Manifolds. Delve into conjectured conditions suggesting when a group might be the fundamental group of a compact 3-manifold. Examine the Cannon Conjecture, its relative version, and Wall's conjecture on finitely generated PD(3) groups. Investigate the connections between these conjectures and learn about criteria that imply them in specific cases. This 57-minute talk, part of a broader workshop organized by the Centre de recherches mathématiques (CRM), offers valuable insights for researchers and students interested in geometric group theory and low-dimensional topology.
