Abstract

We show that recent work of Song implies that torsion-free hyperbolic groups with Gromov boundary S2 are realized as fundamental groups of closed 3-manifolds of constant negative curvature if and only if the solution to an associated spherical Plateau problem for group homology is isometric to such a 3-manifold, and suggest some related questions.
