Abstract

We correct and complete a conjecture of D. Gabai, R. Meyerhoff and N. Thurston on the classification and properties of thin tubed closed hyperbolic 3-manifolds. We additionally show that if is a closed hyperbolic 3-manifold, then either or contains a closed geodesic that is the core of an embedded tube of radius .
