Review text

The relationship between the class \({\mathcal X}\), of fundamental groups of compact Kähler manifolds, and the class \({\mathcal P}\) of fundamental groups of smooth complex projective varieties, is not well understood; one clearly has \({\mathcal P} \subset {\mathcal X}\), but, although some compact Kähler manifolds are nonalgebraic, there is, at present, no known example of a group in \({\mathcal X}\) which is definitely not in \({\mathcal P}\). It is known that membership of \({\mathcal X}\) is severely restricted [the author with \textit{E. G. Rees}, Bull. Lond. Math. Soc. 19, 463-466 (1987; Zbl 0608.53061)]. In this paper, we consider the subclasses \({\mathcal X}_{\text{flat}}\), \({\mathcal P}_{\text{flat}}\) consisting of fundamental groups of compact Kähler (resp. complex projective) manifolds whose underlying Riemannian manifold is flat; we show Theorem I: The classes \({\mathcal X}_{\text{flat}}\) and \({\mathcal P}_{\text{flat}}\) are identical. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0836.57012].
