Jaco-Shalen-Johannson torus decomposition
The Jaco-Shalen-Johannson torus decomposition is a topological construct defined as follows:
"Irreducible orientable compact 3-manifolds have a canonical (up to isotopy) minimal collection of disjointly embedded incompressible tori such that each component of the 3-manifold removed by the tori is either atoroidal or Seifert-fibered"
See Thurston's conjecture for relevance.
