Abstract

Roughly speaking, a compact, orientable, irreducible 3-manifold M with infinite fundamental group is a Seifert fiber space, if either 1) π1M contains a nontrivial, cyclic, normal subgroup (the so-called Seifert-fiber-space conjecture), 2) M is finitely covered by a Seifert fiber space, or 3) π1M is isomorphic to the group of a Seifert fiber space. Excluding a fake P2 × S1 where necessary, we show in this paper that similar results hold when M is nonorientable.
