Apr 2, 2023 at 16:36 comment added Ian Agol I think this might be related to this question: mathoverflow.net/q/19974/1345 In particular, if the 3-dimensional volume is zero, I suspect that the manifold admits an F-structure, and the simplicial volume is zero (and likely minimal volume =0). The point is that the circle action on a Seifert manifold M extends over dehn fillings and attaching 2-handles along MxI. If all of the level sets of a Morse function on a 4-manifold are graph manifolds (and the complements of the 2-handles attaching maps), then I think that these local circle actions may be assembled to get an F-structure.
