Extract

The Realizability Question for poly-Surface groups consists in asking whether, for any poly-Surface group G, one may find a smooth closed aspherical manifold XG with π1(XG)= G. It seems, on present evidence, that the answer is always ‘yes’ [2][3], although in any one case the details may be quite complicated [4].
