Abstract: Given a (transitive or non-transitive) Anosov vector field $X$ on a closed three-dimensional manifold $M$, one may try to decompose $(M,X)$ by cutting $M$ along two-tori transverse to $X$. We prove that one can find a finite collection $T_1,dots,T_n$ of pairwise disjoint, pairwise non-parallel incompressible tori transverse to $X$, such that the maximal invariant sets $Lambd{a}_1,dots,Lambd{a}_m$ of the connected components $V_1,dots,V_m$ of $M-(T_{1}cupdotscup{T}_n)$ satisfy the following properties: 1, each $Lambd{a}_i$ is a compact invariant locally maximal transitive set for $X$, 2, the collection $Lambd{a}_1,dots,Lambd{a}_m$ is canonically attached to the pair $(M,X)$ (i.e., it can be defined independently of the collection of tori $T_1,dots,T_n$), 3, the $Lambd{a}_i$'s are the smallest possible: for every (possibly infinite) collection ${S_i}_{iinI}$ of tori transverse to $X$, the $Lambd{a}_i$'s are contained in the maximal invariant set of $M-cu{p}_i{S}_i$. To a certain extent, the sets $Lambd{a}_1,dots,Lambd{a}_m$ are analogs (for Anosov vector field in dimension 3) of the basic pieces which appear in the spectral decomposition of a non-transitive axiom A vector field. Then we discuss the uniqueness of such a decomposition: we prove that the pieces of the decomposition $V_1,dots,V_m$, equipped with the restriction of the Anosov vector field $X$, are "almost unique up to topological equivalence".
