    <jats:p>We introduce the concept of a handlebody decomposition of a three-manifold, a generalization of a Heegaard splitting, or a trisection. We show that two handlebody decompositions of a closed orientable three-manifold are stably equivalent. As an application to materials science, we consider a mathematical model of polycontinuous patterns and discuss a topological study of microphase separation of a block copolymer melt.</jats:p>

    <jats:p> In his previous work, the author proved that the canonical decompositions of hyperbolic fibered two-bridge link complements are layered. This implies that they admit taut structures. In this paper, we completely determine, for each hyperbolic fibered two-bridge link, whether the canonical decomposition of its complement is veering with respect to the taut structure. </jats:p>
