Finiteness conditions in covers of Poincar\'e duality spaces

Geometric Topology 2015-04-28 v2

Abstract

A closed 4-manifold (or, more generally, a finite PD4PD_4-space) has a finitely dominated infinite regular covering space if and only if either its universal covering space is finitely dominated or it is finitely covered by the mapping torus of a self homotopy equivalence of a PD3PD_3-complex.
