虚拟哈肯猜想
拓扑学中的虚拟哈肯猜想(英语:Virtually Haken conjecture),是指紧致可定向不可约3维流形,若有无限基本群,就是virtual哈肯(virtually Haken)的,即有一个有限覆盖(有限对一的覆盖空间)是哈肯流形。
通常认为这个猜想是Friedhelm Waldhausen在一篇1968年的论文最先提到,[1]虽然他未在文中正式写出。卡比的问题集,将这个猜想正式写出为问题3.2。[2]
几何化猜想由格里戈里·佩雷尔曼证明了之后,virtual哈肯猜想只剩下双曲3-流形待证。
2012年3月12日,Ian Agol在亨利·庞加莱研究所的学术报告讲课中提出了这个猜想的证明。随后在该研究所的3-流形中的浸入曲面工作坊中,他在3月26和28日讲了三堂课描述证明大纲。他已发出所宣称的证明的预印本。[3]他的证明是基于Kahn和Markovic的曲面子群猜想的证明,[4]Daniel Wise证明Malnormal Special Quotient定理时得到的结果,[5]以及Bergeron和Wise的群的cubulation结果。[6]
