Thurston's indecomposable-implies-geometric conjecture

From papers

Let M3M^{3} be a closed, prime, atoroidal 33-manifold. A locally homogeneous Riemannian metric is a Riemannian metric such that for any two points pp and qq there is an isometry from a neighborhood of pp to a neighborhood of qq carrying pp to qq. Indecomposable-implies-geometric conjecture. The manifold M3M^{3} admits a locally homogeneous Riemannian metric. This is an explicitly stated special case of the geometric decomposition conjecture. The paper says that its main result will prove this conjecture and generalizations for a large class of manifolds, while also stating that it remains far from proved in general at the point of the source.
