In mathematics, the Seifert conjecture states that every nonsingular, continuous vector field on the 3-sphere has a closed orbit. It is named after Herbert Seifert. In a 1950 paper, Seifert asked if such a vector field exists, but did not phrase non-existence as a conjecture. He also established the conjecture for perturbations of the Hopf fibration. The conjecture was disproven in 1974 by Paul Schweitzer, who exhibited a counterexample. Schweitzer's construction was then modified by Jenny Harrison in 1988 to make a counterexample for some . The existence of smoother counterexamples remained an open question until 1993 when Krystyna Kuperberg constructed a very different counterexample. Later this construction was shown to have real analytic and piecewise linear versions. ==References== *V. Ginzburg and B.
