  • Description: The Simple Loop Conjecture for 3-manifolds states that if a 2-sided map from a surface to a 3-manifold fails to inject on the fundamental group, then there is an essential simple loop in the kernel. This conjecture is solved in the case where the 3-manifold is Seifert fibered. The techniques are geometric and involve studying least area surfaces and circle actions on Seifert Fibered Spaces.
