The unrestricted four-dimensional disk-embedding conjecture fails: framed algebraic dual spheres do not suffice to obtain disjoint locally flat spanning disks. In particular, the free group is not good in the sense of Freedman–Quinn. Also constructs a finitely presented integral Poincaré duality group of dimension four with a finite classifying space but no realization as the fundamental group of a closed aspherical topological four-manifold, disproving Wall's conjecture.

The authors are OpenAI. This companion does not verify the proof. The claim is not a theorem of the Enter series and not a premise of any registered sheet. It does not close O.1. O.1 stays NOT_CLOSED. It is not a de Sitter state and not the QdS external-leg scheme. No quantum coefficient is admitted. No compilation is asserted.
