Homotopy classification of $4$–manifolds whose fundamental group is dihedral

Daniel Kasprowski, John Nicholson and Benjamin Ruppik

Algebraic & Geometric Topology 22 (2022) 2915–2949
Abstract

We show that the homotopy type of a finite oriented Poincaré 4–complex is determined by its quadratic 2–type provided its fundamental group is finite and has a dihedral Sylow 2–subgroup. By combining with results of Hambleton and Kreck and Bauer, this applies in the case of smooth oriented 4–manifolds whose fundamental group is a finite subgroup of SO (3). An important class of examples are elliptic surfaces with finite fundamental group.
