Thurston's indecomposable-implies-geometric conjecture
Let be a closed, prime, atoroidal -manifold. A locally homogeneous Riemannian metric is a Riemannian metric such that for any two points and there is an isometry from a neighborhood of to a neighborhood of carrying to . Indecomposable-implies-geometric conjecture. The manifold 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.
