Popis: In this paper we give conditions when the existence of an “essential” map of an annulus or Möbius band into a 3-manifold implies the existence of an “essential” embedding of an annulus or Möbius band into that 3-manifold. Let λ 1 {\lambda _1} and λ 2 {\lambda _2} be disjoint simple “orientation reversing” loops in the boundary of a 3-manifold M and A an annulus. Let f : ( A , ∂ A ) → ( M , ∂ M ) f:(A,\partial A) \to (M,\partial M) be a map such that f ∗ : π 1 ( A ) → π 1 ( M ) {f_\ast }:{\pi _1}(A) \to {\pi _1}(M) is monic and f ( ∂ A ) = λ 1 ∪ λ 2 f(\partial A) = {\lambda _1} \cup {\lambda _2} . Then we show that there is an embedding g : ( A , ∂ A ) → ( M , ∂ M ) g:(A,\partial A) \to (M,\partial M) such that g ( ∂ A ) = λ 1 ∪ λ 2 g(\partial A) = {\lambda _1} \cup {\lambda _2} .
