{wiki=Nielsen–Thurston_classification}
The Nielsen–Thurston classification is a way of classifying the types of homeomorphisms on the surface of a two-dimensional manifold, particularly in the context of surfaces with hyperbolic geometry. It specifically deals with the study of homeomorphisms of compact surfaces, particularly orientable and non-orientable surfaces.
