Review text

This is a very interesting survey discussing results and open questions related to the following main conjecture: if \(M\) is a closed 3-manifold with infinite \(\pi_1\), then the universal covering space \(\widetilde M\) is simply connected at infinity. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0919.00057].
