No. The Ollivier & Wise's version of the Rips Construction gives, for any fpfinitely presented group Q, a fp (in fact$Q$, C'(1/6))a finitely presented group G$G$ of cohomological dimension 2 and a surjection G-> Q. The$G\to Q$ such that the kernel is 2-generated, but$K$ satisfies:
- $K$ is finitely generated; and
- $K$ has Kazhdan's property T, in particular $K$ has at most one end.
Now it follows from a theoremTheorem 5.3 of Bieria paper of Bieri that it$K$ is only fpfinitely presented if Q$Q$ is finite.
ReferencesNote: In my original answer, I only mentioned the unadulterated Rips Construction. Using Ollivier and Wise's version is overkill, but it makes the application of Bieri's theorem cleaner.
I should also mention another, famous and beautiful (though I suppose less general) counterexample. In its simplest cases this example is more elementary.
Given a flag complex $L$, Bestvina & Brady consider the corresponding right-angled Artin group $A_L$ and the kernel $K_L$ of the map $A_L\to\mathbb{Z}$ that sends each generator to $1$. They prove:
- $K_L$ is finitely generated if and only if $L$ is connected; and
- $K_L$ is finitely presented if and only if $L$ is simply connected.
So just take $L$ to be added whenyour favourite connected, non-simply connected flag complex to construct a counterexample. The square graph with four vertices and four edges is a good choice for $L$, in which case $A_L$ is just the direct product of two copies of the free group on two generators. In this simple case, it's easy to see that $K_L$ is finitely generated; one should be able to prove (though I have timehaven't tried) that $K_L$ is not finitely presented by messing around with some spectral sequences...
