On the number of nested twice-punctured tori in a hyperbolic knot exterior

JSJ decompositions are an important object and tool in 3-manifold topology. It is a natural question to ask for the number of JSJ pieces in the decomposition of a given 3-manifold along essential tori. For the case of Dehn surgery on a knot in \(S^{3}\), this is related to a bound for the number of pairwise disjoint, essential punctured tori in the knot complement. \N\NIn this paper, the authors show that there are at most six nonisotopic, nested, essential 2-holed tori in the complement of every hyperbolic knot in \(S^{3}\).
