The stable D(2,n) problem

Let GG be a finitely presentable group and let n0n\geq 0. For a finite 33-dimensional CW complex XX with cohomological dimension at most 22 and fundamental group π1(X)=G\pi _{1}(X)=G, form the wedge X(S2)nX\vee (S^{2})^{n}. The stable D(2,n) problem. The D(2,n)D(2,n) problem holds for GG if X(S2)nX\vee (S^{2})^{n} is homotopy equivalent to a 22-dimensional CW complex. It is immediate that the original D(2)D(2) problem implies D(2,n)D(2,n), and D(2,n)D(2,n) implies D(2,n+1)D(2,n+1); the case n=0n=0 is the original problem.
