Virtually Embedded Boundary Slopes
We show that for certain hyperbolic manifolds all boundary slopes are slopes of π1-injective immersed surfaces, covered by incompressible embeddings in some finite cover. The manifolds include hyperbolic punctured torus bundles and hyperbolic two-bridge knots.

This paper presents some finiteness results for the number of boundary slopes of immersed proper π1-injective surfaces of given genus g in a compact 3-manifold with torus boundary. In the case of hyperbolic 3manifolds we obtain uniform quadratic bounds in g, independent of the 3-manifold.
متن کاملA Characterization of Virtually Embedded Subsurfaces in 3-manifolds
The paper introduces the spirality character of the almost fiber part for a closed essentially immersed subsurface of a closed orientable aspherical 3-manifold, which generalizes an invariant due to Rubinstein and Wang. The subsurface is virtually embedded if and only if the almost fiber part is aspiral, and in this case, the subsurface is virtually a leaf of a taut foliation. Besides other con...
متن کاملBoundary curves of surfaces with the 4{plane property
Let M be an orientable and irreducible 3{manifold whose boundary is an incompressible torus. Suppose that M does not contain any closed nonperipheral embedded incompressible surfaces. We will show in this paper that the immersed surfaces in M with the 4{plane property can realize only nitely many boundary slopes. Moreover, we will show that only nitely many Dehn llings of M can yield 3{manifold...
متن کاملImmersed and virtually embedded π1-injective surfaces in graph manifolds
We show that many 3-manifold groups have no nonabelian surface subgroups. For example, any link of an isolated complex surface singularity has this property. In fact, we determine the exact class of closed graph-manifolds which have no immersed 1 -injective surface of negative Euler characteristic. We also determine the class of closed graph manifolds which have no nite cover containing an embe...
