  • Abstract
    To detect if there is an injective surface in a compact irreducible 3-manifold it suffices to triangulate the manifold and check only the fundamental surfaces (Jaco and Oertel, 1984). Here we show that this is true simply because an injective surface of least weight will be fundamental.
