Examples

In dimension three, the conjecture had an uncertain reputation until the geometrization conjecture put it into a framework governing all 3-manifolds. Source: Internet

The geometrization conjecture His later work, starting around the mid-1970s, revealed that hyperbolic geometry played a far more important role in the general theory of 3-manifolds than was previously realised. Source: Internet

The geometrization theorem has been called Thurston's Monster Theorem, due to the length and difficulty of the proof. Source: Internet
