Any finitely presented group can be the fundamental of a smooth 4-manifold. So, generally, the study of 4-manifolds has been restricted to simply connected cases or, thanks to Freedman and Teichner's profound results, to groups with subexponential growth (where surgery theoretical results still hold). In this talk, we'll explore this a bit further.
