This chapter discusses connections between topological and group theoretical decision problems. The chapter provides the logician with a brief survey concerning results and open questions on decision problems in topology and their relations to group theoretic decision problems. Usually topological decision problems are concerned with finite simplicial complexes. Such complexes can be described (up to isomorphism) by their incidence matrices that are finite matrices with integral entries. The chapter also discusses homeomorphism problems, isomorphism problems of fundamental groups, unsolvability results, solvability results, and some open decision problems. The chapter discusses the sufficiently largeness problem for 3-manifolds.
