Review text

It is a well-known open question whether the universal cover of an irreducible aspherical closed 3-manifold \(M\) must be homeomorphic to \(R^3\). An algebraic version of this question asks whether the universal cover \(\widetilde {M}\) must be simply connected at infinity. This paper extends an idea of Casson on metric properties of Cayley graphs to investigate this algebraic question.
