The Geometrization Conjecture is a fundamental concept in the field of 3-manifold topology, proposed by mathematician William Thurston in the late 20th century. It asserts that every closed, orientable 3-manifold can be decomposed into pieces that each have one of a specific set of geometric structures. These structures correspond to eight possible geometries that can be assigned to a manifold.
