Abstract
We prove that any complete, embedded minimal surface M with finite topology in a homogeneous three-manifold N has positive injectivity radius. When one relaxes the condition that N be homogeneous to that of being locally homogeneous, then we show that the closure of M has the structure of a minimal lamination of N. As an application of this general result we prove that any complete, embedded minimal surface with finite genus and a countable number of ends is compact when the ambient space is S3 equipped with a homogeneous metric of nonnegative scalar curvature.
