Finiteness conjecture for fundamental groups of numerical Campedelli surfaces

About 18 years old · traced to

Let SS be a numerical Campedelli surface, meaning a minimal surface of general type with pg(S)=q(S)=0p_g(S)=q(S)=0 and KS2=2K_S^2=2, and let π1(S)\pi_1(S) denote its topological fundamental group. Finiteness conjecture for numerical Campedelli surfaces. The fundamental group π1(S)\pi_1(S) is finite. The algebraic fundamental group is known to have order at most 99, but whether the topological fundamental group is finite remains open in the source.
