Abstract

Let $M$ be a closed hyperbolic $3$ –manifold with a fibered face $σ$ of the unit ball of the Thurston norm on $H_{2} (M)$ . If $M$ satisfies a certain condition related to Agol’s veering triangulations, we construct a taut branched surface in $M$ spanning $σ$ . This partially answers a 1986 question of Oertel, and extends an earlier partial answer due to Mosher.
