What is recorded here?
Set out a geometric-decomposition conjecture for compact three-manifolds and surveyed supporting theorems, problems and connections between three-manifold topology, Kleinian groups and hyperbolic geometry.
Source-linked catalogue note. A detailed explanatory guide has not yet been prepared for this entry.
Scientific scope
The record is Thurston’s sole-author 1982 Bulletin of the AMS paper. Its geometrization picture was partly conjectural there; it does not claim the later Perelman proof, absorb the full Princeton notes or assign all supporting theorems to this paper.
