Hertz–Hertz–Ures Anosov-torus conjecture

Let MM be a 3-manifold and let f:MMf:M\to M be a partially hyperbolic diffeomorphism with invariant bundles EuE^u, EcE^c, and EsE^s. An embedded torus is periodic if fk(S)=Sf^k(S)=S for some positive integer kk, and incompressible if its fundamental group injects into that of MM. Hertz–Hertz–Ures's Anosov-torus conjecture. For every non-ergodic partially hyperbolic diffeomorphism on a 3-manifold MM, there is an embedded, periodic, incompressible torus tangent to EuEsE^u\oplus E^s. Such a torus is an Anosov torus and would force MM to be one of the manifolds MBM_B described above. The conjecture remains open.
