Borromean rings

In mathematics, the Borromean rings consist of three topological circles which are linked and form a Brunnian link (i.e., removing any ring results in two unlinked rings).

Boundary parallel

In mathematics, a closed n-manifold N embedded in an (n + 1)-manifold M is boundary parallel (or ∂-parallel, or peripheral) if there is an isotopy of N onto a boundary component of M.

Geometrization conjecture

In mathematics, Thurston's geometrization conjecture states that certain three-dimensional topological spaces each have a unique geometric structure that can be associated with them.

Hyperbolic link

In mathematics, a hyperbolic link is a link in the 3-sphere with complement that has a complete Riemannian metric of constant negative curvature, i.e. has a hyperbolic geometry.

Incompressible surface

In mathematics, an incompressible surface, in intuitive terms, is a surface, embedded in a 3-manifold, which has been simplified as much as possible while remaining "nontrivial" inside the 3-manifold.

JSJ decomposition

In mathematics, the JSJ decomposition, also known as the toral decomposition, is a topological construct given by the following theorem: The acronym JSJ is for William Jaco, Peter Shalen, and Klaus Johannson.

Knot (mathematics)

In mathematics, a knot is an embedding of a circle S^1 in 3-dimensional Euclidean space, R3 (also known as E3), considered up to continuous deformations (isotopies).

Knot complement

In mathematics, the knot complement of a tame knot K is the three-dimensional space surrounding the knot.

Prime knot

In knot theory, a prime knot or prime link is a knot that is, in a certain sense, indecomposable.

Torus

In geometry, a torus (plural tori) is a surface of revolution generated by revolving a circle in three-dimensional space about an axis coplanar with the circle.

Torus knot

In knot theory, a torus knot is a special kind of knot that lies on the surface of an unknotted torus in R3.
