Abstract

We study 3-dimensional Poincar\'e duality pro-pp groups in the spirit of the work by Robert Bieri and Jonathan Hillmann, and show that if such a pro-pp group GG has a nontrivial finitely presented subnormal subgroup of infinite index, then either the subgroup is cyclic and normal, or the subgroup is cyclic and the group is polycyclic, or the subgroup is Demushkin and normal in an open subgroup of GG. Also, we describe the centralizers of finitely generated subgroups of 3-dimensional Poincar\'e duality pro-pp groups.
