%0 Journal Article %T Quasiprojective three-manifold groups and complexification of three-manifolds %A Indranil Biswas %A Mahan Mj %J Mathematics %D 2014 %I arXiv %R 10.1093/imrn/rnu276 %X We characterize the quasiprojective groups that appear as fundamental groups of compact $3$-manifolds (with or without boundary). We also characterize all closed $3$-manifolds that admit good complexifications. These answer questions of Friedl--Suciu, \cite{fs}, and Totaro \cite{tot} %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1402.6418v2
