Let GG be the finitely presented group G=a,ba2b3a3b2=1G=\left\langle a, b \mid a^{2} b^{3} a^{3} b^{2}=1\right\rangle. Construct a path connected space XX with π1(X,x)G\pi_{1}(X, x) \cong G. Show that XX has a unique connected double cover π:YX\pi: Y \rightarrow X, and give a presentation for π1(Y,y)\pi_{1}(Y, y).
