Abstract: | A group action H on X is called ??telescopic?? if for any finitely presented group G, there exists a subgroup H?? in H such that G is isomorphic to the fundamental group of X/H??. We construct examples of telescopic actions on some CAT?C1] spaces, in particular on 3 and 4-dimensional hyperbolic spaces. As applications we give new proofs of the following statements: (1) Aitchison??s theorem: Every finitely presented group G can appear as the fundamental group of M/J, where M is a compact 3-manifold and J is an involution which has only isolated fixed points; (2) Taubes?? theorem: Every finitely presented group G can appear as the fundamental group of a compact complex 3-manifold. |
