A '''Seifert fibered space''' is a [[3-manifold]] that is decomposed into a disjoint union of circles called fibers, such that each fiber has a neighborhood that is a standard fibered solid torus. Equivalently, it is a [[3-manifold]] that admits a free or locally free action by the circle group, or a manifold that fibers over a 2-dimensional [[Orbifold]] with circle fibers. Introduced by Herbert Seifert in 1933, these spaces form one of the two fundamental classes in the [[JSJ decomposition]] of prime 3-manifolds — the other being the atoroidal manifolds that admit hyperbolic geometry. Seifert fibered spaces are completely classified by their base orbifold and their Seifert invariants, and they include the lens spaces and most of the 3-manifolds that admit a non-hyperbolic geometry in Thurston's geometrization program. They are the simplest 3-manifolds after the 3-sphere, and they serve as the control case against which the complexity of hyperbolic manifolds is measured. | A '''Seifert fibered space''' is a [[3-manifold]] that is decomposed into a disjoint union of circles called fibers, such that each fiber has a neighborhood that is a standard fibered solid torus.

A Seifert fibered space is a 3-manifold that is decomposed into a disjoint union of circles called fibers, such that each fiber has a neighborhood that is a standard fibered solid torus.

Seifert fibered spaces are completely classified by their base orbifold and their Seifert invariants, and they include the lens spaces and most of the 3-manifolds that admit a non-hyperbolic geometry in Thurston's geometrization program. They are the simplest 3-manifolds after the 3-sphere, and they serve as the control case against which the complexity of hyperbolic manifolds is measured.
