Hyperbolization Conjecture for closed irreducible 3-manifolds
Hyperbolization Conjecture for closed irreducible 3-manifolds
Let be a closed, connected, -irreducible -manifold with infinite fundamental group. Hyperbolization Conjecture. If contains no subgroup isomorphic to , then is hyperbolic. This is one of the conjectures attributed in the source to Thurston and is presented as equivalent, together with the virtual bundle conjecture, to the hyperbolic case of geometrization; the source gives no resolution.
