Let M/var/www/vhost/map.mpim-bonn.mpg.de/tmp/AppWikiTex/tex_Czjn8l be a closed aspherical 3-manifold such that \pi_1(M)\cong G. Since G is hyperbolic, it does not contain \mathbb{Z}^2 as a subgroup. Using Geometrisation, we can therefore conclude that M is a closed hyperbolic 3-manifold. Then Agol's virtual fibering theorem shows that M has a finite cover N that is a surface bundle over S^1. Let \pi_1(F) be the fundamental group of the fibre F which is a closed orientable surface of genus g\geq 2. Then \pi_1(F) is a subgroup of \pi_1(N) which is a finite index subgroup of \pi_1(M).
