Triple torus
"3-torus" redirects here. For the three-dimensional space, see Three-torus.
In the theory of surfaces, a triple torus refers to a smooth closed surface with three holes, or, in other words, a surface of genus three. It can be obtained by attaching three handles to a sphere or by gluing (taking the connected sum) of three tori.
