Two-Complexes with Aspherical Fundamental Group.

Abstract
The homotopy classification for 2-complexes is complete only when the
fundamental group is finite or free. Somewhat isolated is the work of
Martin Dunwoody who studied homotopy types of 2-complexes where the
fundamental group is the trefoil group, where he constructed homotopy
inequivalent 2-complexes one level above the minimal possible Euler
characteristic. We take a new look at Dunwoody's work and present
generalizations to groups containing the trefoil knot group as a
retract.
