Abstract: In this paper, we show that the class of all properly 3-realizable groups is closed under amalgamated free products (and HNN-extensions) over finite groups. We recall that $G$ is said to be properly 3-realizable if there exists a compact 2-polyhedron $K$ with $p{i}_1(K)congG$ and whose universal cover $ildeK$ has the proper homotopy type of a 3-manifold (with boundary).

Review text

A finitely presented group \(G\) is called properly 3-realizable if there exists a compact 2-polyhedron \(K\) with \(\pi_1(K)=G\) and whose universal cover \(\widetilde{K}\) has the proper homotopy type of a 3-manifold. In the paper it is shown: Theorem 1.1 The class of all properly 3-realizable groups is closed under amalgamated free products (and HNN-extensions) over finite groups. This implies directly: Corollary 1.2 In order to show whether or not all finitely presented groups are properly 3-realizable it suffices to look among those groups which are 1-ended.
