A Realization Result for Two-Complexes
by

Bradley University
We define a graph complement cone complex (i.e., a gccc) to be a CW 3-complex which consists of a graph complement in a cube with handles together with the cone over the boundary of the cube with handles. We show that every finite 2-complex may be realized, up to 3-deformation, by a gccc. We then apply this realization to the study of contractible 2-complexes.
