Which 3-manifold groups are K\"ahler groups?

Algebraic Geometry 2010-10-26 v2 Geometric Topology

Abstract

The question in the title, first raised by Goldman and Donaldson, was partially answered by Reznikov. We give a complete answer, as follows: if G can be realized as both the fundamental group of a closed 3-manifold and of a compact K\"ahler manifold, then G must be finite, and thus belongs to the well-known list of finite subgroups of O(4).
