چکیده
The main result of this paper is a universal finiteness theorem for the set of all small dilatation pseudo-Anosov homeomorphisms φ : S → S, ranging over all surfaces S. More precisely, we consider pseudo-Anosov homeomorphisms φ : S → S with |χ(S)| log(λ(φ)) bounded above by some constant, and we prove that, after puncturing the surfaces at the singular points of the stable foliations, the resulting set of mapping tori is finite. Said differently, there is a finite set of fibered hyperbolic 3–manifolds so that all small dilatation pseudo-Anosov homeomorphisms occur as the monodromy of a Dehn filling on one of the 3–manifolds in the finite list, where the filling is on the boundary slope of a fiber.

متن کاملPseudo-anosov Homeomorphisms with Quadratic Expansion
We show that if f : M →M is a pseudo-Anosov homeomorphism on an orientable surface with oriented unstable manifolds and a quadratic expanding factor, then there is a hyperbolic toral automorphism on T2 and a map h : M → T2 such that h is a semi-conjugacy and (M, h) is a branched covering space of T2. We also give another characterization of pseudo-Anosov homeomorphisms with quadratic expansion ...
متن کاملDilatation versus self-intersection number for point-pushing pseudo-Anosov homeomorphisms
A filling curve γ on a based surface S determines a pseudo-Anosov homeomorphism P(γ) of S via the process of “point-pushing along γ.” We consider the relationship between the self-intersection number i(γ) of γ and the dilatation λγ of P(γ); our main result is that (i(γ) + 1) 1/5 ≤ λγ ≤ 9i(γ). We also bound the least dilatation of any pseudo-Anosov in the point-pushing subgroup of a closed surfa...
متن کاملThe lower central series and pseudo-Anosov dilatations
The theme of this paper is that algebraic complexity implies dynamical complexity for pseudo-Anosov homeomorphisms of a closed surface Sg of genus g. Penner proved that the logarithm of the minimal dilatation for a pseudo-Anosov homeomorphism of Sg tends to zero at the rate 1/g. We consider here the smallest dilatation of any pseudoAnosov homeomorphism of Sg acting trivially on Γ/Γk, the quotie...
متن کاملInfinite sequence of fixed point free pseudo-Anosov homeomorphisms
We construct an infinite sequence of pseudo-Anosov homeomorphisms without fixed points and leaving invariant a sequence of orientable measured foliations on the same topological surface and the same stratum of the space of Abelian differentials. The existence of such a sequence shows that all pseudo-Anosov homeomorphisms fixing orientable measured foliations cannot be obtained by the Rauzy-Veec...
