Abstract.
When X is a finite complex and \(\pi_{1}X\) acts on \({\mathbb{R}}^2\) by translations we give criteria involving H2X for an equivariant map \(F : \tilde{X} \rightarrow {\mathbb{R}}^2\) to be onto. Following work of Manning and Shub, this leads to entropy bounds related to Shub’s entropy conjecture.
