%0 Journal Article %T A candidate for a solution to Wall's D(2) problem %A W. H. Mannan %J Mathematics %D 2008 %I arXiv %X We show that Wall's D(2) problem, the Realization problem and the Relation Gap problem could all be solved if it could be shown that the deficiency of a certain group is, as intuition would suggest, less than -1. Note the paper has been withdrawn. A presentation of *_p (C_p x C_p)with deficiency -1 is given on p35 of: Cynthia Hog-Angeloni, Beitrage zum (einfachen) homotopietyp zweidimensionaler komplexe zu freein produkten und anderen gruppentheoretischen konstruktionen : PhD thesis, Frankfurt/Main 1988 %U http://arxiv.org/abs/0811.4628v4
