Review text

A 3-orbifold is called small if it has no essential 2-suborbifolds. In this note, the authors announce the uniformization of compact oriented small 3-orbifolds. Together with the uniformization of Haken 3-orbifolds [\textit{M. Boileau} and \textit{J. Porti}, Geometrization of 3-orbifolds of cyclic type, Astérisque 272 (2001)], this result implies the uniformization theorem for compact irreducible 3-orbifolds. NEWLINENEWLINENEWLINEThe proof if only sketched and details should appear elsewhere. More details are given in the case with finite fundamental group, which requires a different approach.
