Immersing almost geodesic surfaces in a closed hyperbolic three manifold

Abstract

Let $\mathbf{M}^3$ be a closed hyperbolic three manifold. We construct closed surfaces that map by immersions into $\mathbf{M}^3$ so that for each, one the corresponding mapping on the universal covering spaces is an embedding, or, in other words, the corresponding induced mapping on fundamental groups is an injection.
