Abstract: For a field $mathbbF$, the notion of $mathbbF$-tightness of simplicial complexes was introduced by K"uhnel. K"uhnel and Lutz conjectured that any $mathbbF$-tight triangulation of a closed manifold is the most economic of all possible triangulations of the manifold. The boundary of a triangle is the only $mathbbF$-tight triangulation of a closed 1-manifold. A triangulation of a closed 2-manifold is $mathbbF$-tight if and only if it is $mathbbF$-orientable and neighbourly. In this paper we prove that a triangulation of a closed 3-manifold is $mathbbF$-tight if and only if it is $mathbbF$-orientable, neighbourly and stacked. In consequence, the K"uhnel-Lutz conjecture is valid in dimension $leq3$.
