Virtual fibering conjecture for taut sutured manifolds

From papers

Let (M,γ)(M,\gamma) be a taut sutured manifold, meaning a sutured manifold satisfying the tautness condition, and suppose that χ(M)<0\chi(M)<0. A finite-sheeted cover is a covering

(M~,γ~)(M,γ)(\tilde{M},\tilde{\gamma})\to(M,\gamma)

with finitely many sheets. The virtual fibering conjecture for taut sutured manifolds. There is a finite-sheeted cover (M~,γ~)(M,γ)(\tilde{M},\tilde{\gamma})\to(M,\gamma) such that (M~,γ~)(\tilde{M},\tilde{\gamma}) has a depth one taut oriented foliation. This is presented as a natural analogue of the virtual fibering conjecture for 3-manifolds; its status is not resolved in the supplied text.
