Haken manifold
In mathematics, a Haken manifold is a compact, P²-irreducible 3-manifold that contains a two-sided incompressible surface. Sometimes one considers only orientable Haken manifolds, in which case a Haken manifold is a compact, orientable, irreducible 3-manifold that contains an orientable, incompressible surface.
