We recall that a finitely presented group G is properly 3-realizable if for some finite 2-dimensional CW-complex X with π1(X) ∼= G, the universal cover X has the proper homotopy type of a 3-manifold. This purely topological property is closely related to the asymptotic behavior of the group G. We show that proper 3-realizability is also a...
