Realizing algebraic 2-complexes by cell complexes

Abstract

The realization theorem asserts that for a finitely presented group G, the D(2) property and the realization property are equivalent as long as G satisfies a certain finiteness condition. We show that the two properties are in fact equivalent for all finitely presented groups.
