The Eilenberg-Ganea conjecture is the statement that every group of cohomological dimension two admits a two-dimensional classifying space. This problem is unsolved after 50 years. I shall discuss the background to this question and negative answers to some other related questions. This includes recent joint work with Martin Fluch. |
