New Infinite Families of Pseudo-anosov Maps with Vanishing Sah-arnoux-fathi Invariant
نویسندگان
چکیده
We show that an orientable pseudo-Anosov homeomorphism has vanishing SahArnoux-Fathi invariant if and only if the minimal polynomial of its dilatation is not reciprocal. We relate this to works of Margalit-Spallone and Birman, Brinkmann and Kawamuro. Mainly, we use Veech’s construction of pseudo-Anosov maps to give explicit pseudo-Anosov maps of vanishing Sah-Arnoux-Fathi invariant. In particular, we give new infinite families of such maps in genus 3.

Veech Surfaces with Non-periodic Directions in the Trace Field
Veech’s original examples of translation surfaces Vq enjoying what McMullen has dubbed “optimal dynamics” arise from appropriately gluing sides of two copies of the regular qgon, with q ≥ 3 . We show that every Vq whose trace field is of degree greater than 2 has non-periodic directions of vanishing SAF-invariant. (Calta-Smillie have shown that under appropriate normalization, the set of slopes...
متن کاملThe Rel Leaf and Real-rel Ray of the Arnoux-yoccoz Surface in Genus 3
We analyze the rel leaf of the Arnoux-Yoccoz translation surface in genus 3. We show that the leaf is dense in the stratum Hp2, 2q but that the real-rel trajectory of the surface is divergent. On this real-rel trajectory, the vertical foliation of one surface is invariant under a pseudo-Anosov map (and in particular is uniquely ergodic), but the vertical foliations on all other surfaces are com...
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...
متن کاملThe Stratum of Random Mapping Classes
We consider random walks on the mapping class group whose support generates a nonelementary subgroup and contains a pseudo-Anosov map whose invariant Teichmüller geodesic is in the principal stratum For such random walks, we show that mapping classes along almost every infinite sample path are eventually pseudo-Anosov whose invariant Teichmüller geodesics are in the principal stratum. This prov...
متن کاملOperator algebras and conjugacy problem for the pseudo-Anosov automorphisms of a surface
The conjugacy problem for the pseudo-Anosov automorphisms of a compact surface is studied. To each pseudo-Anosov automorphism φ, we assign an AF -algebra Aφ (an operator algebra). It is proved that the assignment is functorial, i.e. every φ, conjugate to φ, maps to an AF algebra Aφ′ , which is stably isomorphic to Aφ. The new invariants of the conjugacy of the pseudo-Anosov automorphisms are ob...
