Topological 4-manifolds with geometrically 2-dimensional fundamental groups
Abstract
Closed oriented 4-manifolds with the same geometrically 2-dimensional
fundamental group (satisfying certain properties) are classified up to
$s$-cobordism by their $w_2$-type, equivariant intersection form and the
Kirby-Siebenmann invariant. As an application, we obtain a complete
homeomorphism classification of closed oriented 4-manifolds with solvable
Baumslag-Solitar fundamental groups, including a precise realization result.
