The Surface Subgroup Problem |
Abstract: The surface subgroup problem asks whether a given group contains a subgroup that is isomorphic to the fundamental group of a closed orientable surface. In this talk I will survey the role this question plays in some important solved and unsolved problems in 3-manifold topology, theory of arithmetic manifolds and geometric group theory. |
